African NGOs are navigating an increasingly constrained and unpredictable funding landscape. Traditional grant funding has become more competitive, more conditional, and, in many cases, less reliable. At the same time, expectations around impact, accountability, and long-term sustainability continue to rise.

In this context, income diversification has shifted from a peripheral consideration to a strategic necessity. Across the continent, NGOs are exploring revenue streams beyond grants, including fee-based services, events, membership models, digital products, and asset-based approaches. For some NGOs, this represents a genuine opportunity to build financial resilience. For others, it introduces new complexities and risks that require careful management.

Despite growing interest, many African NGOs remain uncertain about how to proceed – whether diversification is appropriate for their organisation, which pathways are viable, and how to balance financial sustainability with mission integrity.

Join @AfricanNGOs and Hexa Media Africa on Thursday, 14 May 2026, for the next NGO Power Talk titled, “Income Diversification in the African NGO Sector – Strategic Imperatives, Risks and Opportunities.”

This webinar offers a high-level, strategic framing of the issue, equipping African NGOs to make informed decisions about their financial future. Specifically, it will:

➡️ Unpack the key drivers behind the growing need for income diversification in the African NGO sector;
➡️ Explore the strategic considerations NGOs must weigh when introducing new revenue streams;
➡️ Highlight common risks and share insights and lessons from NGOs that have experimented with income-generating approaches, including successes and failures;
➡️ Provide a practical decision-making framework to help NGOs assess whether diversification is appropriate for their context.

Drawing on the lived experience of NGO leaders and the expertise of technical specialists, the event session will bridge strategic thinking with grounded realities from the field.

Confirmed Panellists:

➡️ Grace Maingi, Executive Director, Kenya Community Development Foundation;
➡️ Shaun Samuels, Managing Director, SGS Consulting;
➡️ Others to be confirmed.

By the end of the webinar, participants will be better equipped to:

➡️ Assess whether income diversification is the right strategic direction for their organisation;
➡️ Identify potential pathways aligned with their capabilities and context;
➡️ Recognise and avoid common mistakes that undermine income-generating efforts.

Don’t miss this opportunity to sharpen your strategic thinking and strengthen your organisation’s financial sustainability.
