Answer 1

You can surf the Internet for names of organizations that give grants on issues/sectors/target areas that you're organization is focusing on, and find out if they have calls for proposals. Also, networking is key. Attend conferences and events, introduce your organization, and make friends. You also have to build a good track record. This will definitely help you in securing funds particularly now that it's getting harder and harder to do so. However, Africa remains to be a priority of many donor organizations. I'm sure you can find a group who will be interested. Good luck.

Answer 2
