Africa Union Inputs for an Elements Paper on Financing for Development

As the world prepares for FfD4 in 2025, it is imperative that the global community come together to formulate a unified and stronger vision for mobilizing the adequate financial resources needed to achieve the  UN Sustainable Development Goals as well as support the achievement of the African Union Agenda 2063.  Building on the foundations of the 2015 Addis Ababa Action Agenda, which established a comprehensive framework for financing sustainable development, the FfD 4 outcome document should recognize the unique and complex challenges faced by African countries and call for enhanced international support to address issues such as domestic resource mobilization, external debt challenges, and cost effective access to international financial markets in order to promote inclusive growth and sustainable development in Africa.

Administration Costs Research Project | Breaking The Starvation Cycle.

The overhead myth that suggests that low overheads in nonprofits are a sign of efficiency has led to many donors underfunding the associated administration costs of their project grants and driven a vicious 'starvation cycle.' Through the Administration Costs Research Project, evidence gathered reveals how international donor funding covers the real administration costs of national NGOs. The Funders for Real Cost, Real Change (FRC), a collaborative of private foundations, commissioned this research and sought recommendations on how funders could provide adequate cost coverage and strengthen their grantees' financial health and resilience.
