NGO Power Talk: African NGO Funding Trends 2026 – Challenges and Opportunities
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.
