We sit down with changemakers who are reimagining sustainability — from community‑embedded organisations mobilising local support, to innovators designing new digital pathways for giving, to leaders rewriting what accountability and resilience look like in African contexts.

In this conversation, we explore how weak storytelling, donor&#8209;centric reporting, and underinvestment in communication have left CSOs vulnerable in a funding and legal crisis. Visibility isn&#8217;t vanity; it&#8217;s sustainability.If people don&#8217;t know your work, they don&#8217;t have time for you. Dr Murisa breaks down why nonprofits must invest in storytelling, digital presence, and community&#8209;facing communication. This episode shows how CSOs can turn the &#8220;valley&#8221; into fertile ground by making their impact impossible to ignore.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The valley we are in: Understanding the non-profit crisis]]></title><description><![CDATA[Civil society across Africa is in a valley &#8212; squeezed by legal pressure, shrinking donor support, and communities still expecting the same level of service.]]></description><link>https://changemakersjunction.substack.com/p/the-valley-we-are-in-understanding-0f0</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://changemakersjunction.substack.com/p/the-valley-we-are-in-understanding-0f0</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tendai Murisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jul 2026 14:31:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/206303031/f1357d2ff6dd1d48aaf7b5317ca46189.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Civil society across Africa is in a valley &#8212; squeezed by legal pressure, shrinking donor support, and communities still expecting the same level of service. Dr Murisa explains why this valley is not new, how Zimbabwe and Nigeria built &#8220;muscle memory&#8221; in past crises, and why collaboration, coalitions, and shared learning are now essential for survival. This episode shows nonprofits how to use those lessons to navigate today&#8217;s funding and political shocks.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who Will Mourn for You?

Dr. Tendai Murisa joins us to explore the characteristics organisations must embrace to outlive the funding crisis: community&#8209;centric design, shared work, reduced bureaucracy, and bold entrepreneurial thinking. From asking &#8220;Who will mourn for you?&#8221; to rethinking assets, relationships, and entrepreneurialism, this conversation is a wake&#8209;up call for every nonprofit leader navigating scarcity. Drawing from years of navigating Zimbabwe&#8217;s shifting landscape, he argues that sustainability begins with rewriting the script &#8212; seeing the cup as half full and leveraging the assets already in hand.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
