Overcoming these challenges by providing new opportunities for NGOs is fundamental to expanding and positioning African NGOs for future progress and growth that leaves no one behind,” says Peter SaSellu, President and CEO of the African NGO Council.
The Summit aims to help African NGOs, donors and operating partners to access regional and
international partnership opportunities, mobilise diverse financial resources, benefit from regional and international networks, and increase their ability to scale up operations.
Moreover, the Summit will act as a continental platform for national and international leaders from the NGO community, development and humanitarian sectors, philanthropy, finance ecosystem, public and private sectors to advocate inclusive policies and strategies required to support African NGOs and partners.
Among several objectives, the Summit seeks to enhance partnerships and expand NGO opportunities and new funding across the Africa region by engaging NGO funders, impact investors and connecting them with policymakers and other stakeholders to foster civil society-friendly policies and conducive operating climate.
It will also serve as a platform for inspiring civil society leaders and social entrepreneurs with Africa regional and global best practices, business and operating models and success stories.
According to Catherine George, the Executive Director of the AfricanNGO Summit, “The Summit will provide networking and clustering opportunities and fostering strategic alliances.
It will help in delivering targeted capacity-building to government entities, funders, impact investors, business enablers and NGOs.
At the end of the day, it will help engage African stakeholders in developing improved NGO policy frameworks that promote inclusive and sustainable socioeconomic growth and build resilient infrastructures to nurture African NGOs for meaningful impacts. ”
