Building on Solid Ground: Primer on Resilience and Sustainability of CSOs in Africa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789786819495)

Civil society organisations (CSOs) have played a critical role in Africa's social, political, and economic fabric. They are the first responders in humanitarian crises, the champions of human rights, and the persistent voices advocating for transparency and good governance. Yet, as vital as their work is, many CSOs on the continent operate in precarious conditions, facing a shrinking civic space, limited funding, regulatory pressures, and internal governance challenges.

Building on Solid Ground: Primer on Resilience and Sustainability of CSOs in Africa is a timely and compelling response to these challenges. It couldn't have come at a better time than now when the conversation on external funding and its impact has reached a crescendo. It addresses the pressing need to rethink how we build, lead, and sustain civil society institutions that can withstand external shocks, maintain integrity, and grow in impact. The book distils decades of practical experience, enriched by real-world examples, and informed by scholarly research and frontline insights. It provides a roadmap - grounded in African realities - for leaders, managers, donors, and partners committed to building durable, values-based organisations.
