Emerge

Peer-to-peer learning & capacity-building in Africa

A capacity-building programme designed to enhance the fundraising and resource mobilisation capacities of nonprofit organisations in Africa.

Since 2014, 42 organisations across five continents have participated in the Emerge capacity-building programme, which was created to support social impact organisations to diversify their income sources and improve their long-term sustainability.

The current programme, Emerge 2.0, seeks to continue this work in Africa, building peer-to-peer learning networks and embedding sustainable fundraising practices at an organisational level. 20 organisations are part of the 2024 cohort.

  • Peer-based learning
  • Ongoing training and opportunities to attend fundraising conferences
