In this episode, we examine the future of NGOs amid a rapidly changing global landscape. As traditional aid models face disruption, marked by reduced foreign funding and shifting donor priorities, NGOs must adapt to survive. We discuss how aid, once driven by donor interests and conditionalities, is being reimagined around mutual benefit and local agency, especially as Africa asserts its leverage through resources and skilled labour.

We also explore the necessity for NGOs to reset their strategies—prioritising accountability to their members, embracing digital transformation, and fostering local leadership.

Join us as we unpack these critical challenges and opportunities, providing actionable insights for NGO leaders, donors, and policymakers committed to shaping a more impactful and self-reliant nonprofit ecosystem.
