Bio

Cheyanne Scharbatke-Church is an authority in adaptive program design and evaluations in peacebuilding, anti-corruption and governance. With over 20 years’ experience, Cheyanne has led programs on the ground, advised on donor strategies, been an organisational change catalyst on effectiveness issues and contributed to the scholarship of the evaluation and corruption fields. She has held positions with the CDA, SFCG and INCORE.

In 2009 Cheyanne founded Besa; a social enterprise committed to catalyzing significant change on strategic issues in places experiencing conflict and structural or overt physical violence. Besa has experience working effectively with a wide range of organizations, such as the ICRC, IDRC, US State Department, UN Peacebuilding Fund and ABA/ROLI.

In 2022, we incorporated as Besa Global Inc., to move from a sole proprietorship to a small team. Projects advertised are assisting the set up of Besa Global.

It was amazing to work under the best employers of Besa Global. They provided training to me with such a friendly comfortable environment like a true leader and gave all the instructions on how to perform a task in a better way. They let me explore with new stuff and allowed me to come up with more creating ideas. I really enjoyed working under this company and the employers.

It was a fantastic experience working with Besa Global on the Corruption, Justice and Legitimacy program. I highly recommend it to all students with an interest in politics, governance, corruption, conflict, development, or other such fields. I'm very thankful to the Besa Global team for all the things I learned, including both practical skills and theoretical knowledge.

It’s refreshing to be part of a project that encourages you to bring other business processes to the table rather than just general business and accounting knowledge. It was a fantastic learning experience working with Besa and Cheyanne to learn how to synthesize vast amounts of information in a presentable manner. I wish Besa and Cheyanne the highest success in their future endeavours!

Start Up Business Structure Implications

# of individual students required: 1 We are rolling an ongoing social science research to practice project from an institutional base to be it's own entity. We need someone to explore the different registration options in Canada and their implications both in terms of cost, legality, tax (internal). Our goal is to gain clarity on the right legal structure e.g. nonprofit, corporation, B-corp, foundation for our new entity. The task is three-part: 1. Research the options for formally incorporating e.g. company, B-corp, non-profit 2. identify the internal implications of each option e.g. financial, internal systems-process etc. At minimum identify the questions I need to ask to whom e.g. accountant, financial advisor etc. Deliverable would be a two part report - options, implications and recommendations. Ideally this would be completed by the end of May, but there is some room to discuss this if necessary.

Create dynamic, accessible videos

We are looking to create video content for our website that engages our audience and offers an accessible introduction to what we do. At present our site is largely text heavy and would benefit from more dynamic or engaging material that aligns with our brand and mission. Working closely with our Communications & Project Officer, our ideas will be assessed to determine which topics are best fit, the style, breadth and approach of the video. At this juncture it will be determined if there is time to do 1 or 2 (pending length and complexity).
