Call for Applications | Deadline: 30 November 2026
When donor funding was cut in 2025, many organizations discovered how fragile they were. A global survey by UN Women found that 90% of surveyed organizations were in financial distress, nearly half expected to close within six months, and more than 70% had already laid off staff. The organizations that came through were not always the biggest. They were the ones with a clear plan.
Why a plan makes the difference
Without a long-term strategic or business plan, organizations react to every crisis instead of preparing for it. Short-term fixes replace long-term direction, and good work stops when funding stops. Businesses are even more exposed: many operate without any business plan at all.
What the SPI Project offers
The Result is helping 100 organizations across the East African Community build plans that last. This is not a workshop or a template. Our experts work directly with your organization, and you leave with practical tools you own:
- A costed strategic or business plan, aligned with national, EAC, African Union and global priorities.
- An emergency fund to keep your organization working for at least one year during a crisis.
- A resource mobilization strategy that grows domestic funding and reduces dependence on donors.
- A digital Power BI dashboard to track your plan in real time.
- A financial management toolkit covering budgeting, daily financial management and reporting.
Who can apply
Local NGOs and CSOs, foundations and faith-based organizations, cooperatives and associations, social enterprises and start-ups, youth- and women-led organizations, and community-based organizations operating in any EAC country.
Affordable by design
Participating organizations make only a modest contribution, based on their size. The Result and its strategic partners cover most of the cost.
Don’t wait for the next crisis!!
Organizations are admitted in cohorts until 100 places are filled, and the first cohort closes on 30 November 2026.
