Congratulations!
Your transformation journey starts here
The Future-Fit Next Generation NGO Index™ (FFNGI™) measures your institutional resilience across 6 critical pillars.
Are You as an NGO Feeling the Ground Shift?
Threshold Academy exists to help African NGOs navigate a changing development landscape. For decades, civil society organisations have delivered essential services, defended rights, and supported marginalized communities across the continent. However, the traditional donor-funded project model is becoming increasingly unsustainable as funding shrinks, conditions tighten, and compliance demands grow. Many organisations now spend more time chasing grants than building lasting solutions. Threshold Academy believes this moment presents not only a challenge but also an opportunity for African civil society to rethink its future.
Funding Shocks
Sudden reductions in donor support and grant availability.
Strategic Uncertainty
Difficulty planning for the long term in a volatile aid environment.
Organisational Strain
Internal pressure to adapt structures and staffing rapidly.
A Changed Landscape
The fundamental shift in how global development is financed.
