About the Podcast
Africa’s nonprofit leaders are doing incredible work — solving complex social problems, leading resilient teams, and navigating challenges with limited resources. Yet their stories, strategies, and leadership lessons are often underrepresented in the broader development conversation. That’s why each episode of Leading for Impact dives into the real issues that matter — from governance, team dynamics, HR, and talent to leadership, tech adoption, partnerships, and sustainability — all explored with humility, courage, and a bias for action.
Amplifying African Changemakers
Leading for Impact was created to spotlight these voices, share what’s working, and build a community of changemakers who learn from each other, grow together, and amplify their collective impact. This podcast brings you into intimate conversations with the nonprofit leaders who are shaping Africa’s future — one bold decision, one breakthrough strategy, and one community at a time.
