Change the Game Academy (CtGA) is a programme initiated by Wilde Ganzen in collaboration with partners from Kenya, India and Brazil. Since 2015, the programme has offered online and offline training in local fundraising and mobilising support for civil society organisations in more than 16 countries worldwide. The goal of Change the Game Academy is to equip changemakers with the knowledge and skills to engage their communities on social issues.

What are the courses about?

  • Local fundraising: This course focuses on how civil society organisations can find support within their own communities. The importance of this, is to reduce dependence on foreign donors or governments, and creating more diverse and sustainable sources of income.
  • Mobilising support: This course focuses on how civil society organisations can advocate for their economic and social rights with relevant parties – like their national governments.
