Episode Synopsis

Civil society organisations, particularly community-based organisations, are often on the frontlines of responding to complex social challenges. Yet, they face a host of obstacles that limit their impact. Many are under-resourced and overstretched, relying on small teams to deliver programmes, fundraise and manage administrative tasks without access to adequate training, systems and leadership development courses.When core organisational functions are weak, interventions suffer. Considering their critical role in South African society, the sector needs strong, resilient and innovative organisations. Strengthening the sector is a shared responsibility among the organisations themselves, various players in the NGO space, donors and government.In this podcast, we discuss ways to support civil society through funding, resources and strategies that won’t fall flat. We talk to Malibongwe Nkunkuma, Innovation Manager at DGMT. Visit www.dgmt.co.za/the-impact-engine to and access the takeaway instructions.The Learning Lunch podcast features three types of episodes: Deep Dives; Nourish & Flourish; and Best Bites.Each podcast/learning lunch session is structured as follows:The Main Meal - A ±30-minute podcastThe Takeaways - Instructions for a ±30-minute group reflection based on what you listened to.To learn more about the work that we do, go to www.dgmt.co.za
