NGO Power Talk – African NGO Funding Trends 2026: Challenges & Opportunities

>>> Register here: https://luma.com/y5cvirem

African NGOs are entering 2026 in a funding landscape characterised by significant uncertainty and rapid changes. Traditional international aid flows are under pressure, funder priorities are evolving, and competition for limited resources is intensifying.

In addition to these challenges, new opportunities are emerging through the growth of African philanthropy, regional and national funding mechanisms, and innovative financing models.

To navigate this complex landscape, African NGOs need a deeper understanding of emerging funding sources, shifting funder expectations, and how to position themselves for future opportunities.

Join @AfricanNGOs and Hexa Media Africa on Thursday, 26 February 2026, for the next NGO Power Talk titled, “African NGO Funding Trends 2026 – Challenges and Opportunities.”

Participants will gain a clear understanding of the funding challenges and opportunities they will encounter in 2026 and beyond. By the end of the webinar, they will be able to:

➡️ Anticipate risks and challenges in the funding landscape, and apply this understanding to more informed planning and decision-making for the year ahead.
➡️ Interpret evolving funder expectations, particularly around governance, accountability, impact measurement, and long-term financial sustainability.
➡️ Strengthen their fundraising positioning and strategy, using funder perspectives to better align proposals, partnerships, and narratives with current priorities.
➡️ Identify practical opportunities to diversify funding, drawing on insights from funders and funding experts.
