About The Fursa Beta Grant
The Fursa Beta Grant is managed by CGO Africa, an organisation focused on strengthening civil society institutions and nonprofits across Africa. The organisation supports these entities with funding, partnerships, and capacity development initiatives.
The purpose of the grant is to provide financial and structural support to NGOs and civil society organisations to enhance their operational effectiveness and impact for youth and women. The key issue addressed by the grant is the limited access to flexible funding and institutional capacity support for Africans. The grant also prioritises the structural onboarding process and mentorship to help youths navigate the labour market.
