PLUS Africa provides philanthropy advisory services to foundations, corporate giving platforms, high-net-worth individuals, and faith-based givers seeking to deploy capital effectively, responsibly, and in alignment with long-term impact goals across Africa.
Philanthropic capital often operates within complex environments characterised by institutional constraints, uneven organisational capacity, and fragmented ecosystems. Our advisory work supports funders to navigate these complexities by strengthening how funding strategies are designed, governed, and implemented.
We advise on philanthropy strategy, portfolio design, institutional assessment, and governance frameworks that support sound decision-making and responsible stewardship. This includes supporting funders to develop clear funding priorities, assess organisational readiness, and manage risk while remaining aligned with mission and values.
We place particular emphasis on institutional strength and long-term sustainability, supporting funders to move beyond short-term project funding toward approaches that strengthen organisations, systems, and ecosystems over time. Our work also supports learning, adaptation, and accountability within philanthropic portfolios.
This service area supports foundations, corporate social investment programmes, family offices, faith-based givers, and philanthropic collaboratives seeking to maximise the effectiveness and integrity of their giving across Africa.

PLUS Africa supports nonprofit organisations to strengthen internal capacity across governance, leadership, financial management, and monitoring, evaluation, and learning.
Many nonprofit organisations operate under conditions of constrained resources, donor-driven priorities, and limited internal systems. Our capacity-building work focuses on strengthening the organisational foundations required for effective delivery, accountability, and long-term sustainability.
We work with nonprofits to strengthen governance structures, clarify leadership roles, and improve decision-making and accountability processes. We also support financial management capacity, including budgeting, financial controls, reporting, and compliance, to support credibility with funders and partners.
In addition, we support organisations to design and strengthen monitoring, evaluation, and learning systems that enable evidence-based decision-making, learning, and adaptation. Our approach to MEL prioritises practicality and use, ensuring systems support organisational learning rather than compliance alone.
This service area supports local, national, and regional nonprofit organisations seeking to strengthen institutional capacity and position themselves for sustained impact and funding.
PLUS Africa provides advisory and programme support focused on advancing gender equity, youth opportunity, and inclusive development across African contexts.
Gender and youth outcomes are often shaped by systemic barriers including institutional exclusion, limited access to resources, and weak policy and delivery systems. Our work recognises that inclusive development requires more than standalone programmes and must be embedded within institutional and systemic change.
We support organisations and initiatives to design and implement gender-responsive and youth-focused strategies that are grounded in local realities and aligned with broader institutional and policy frameworks. This includes advisory support for programme design, institutional integration, and capacity strengthening.
Our work in this area often intersects with education, livelihoods, entrepreneurship, and community development, with a focus on ensuring that inclusion is operationalised through systems, governance, and delivery mechanisms rather than treated as an add-on.
This service area supports governments, funders, nonprofit organisations, and platforms committed to advancing gender equity, youth development, and inclusive growth across Africa.
PLUS Africa provides strategic business and investor matching services connecting African enterprises to aligned capital, markets, and partners across Africa and global markets.
Access to capital and markets remains constrained for many African enterprises due to misalignment between business readiness and investor expectations, limited networks, and fragmented market access pathways. Our approach to business and investor matching is grounded in strategic alignment and institutional readiness rather than transactional introductions.
We work with enterprises to clarify value propositions, strengthen organisational readiness, and identify appropriate investors and partners aligned with their stage, sector, and objectives. We also work with investors and partners to identify credible enterprises and opportunities aligned with their investment criteria and strategic priorities.
Our matching work spans African regional markets and global contexts, including diaspora and international partnerships, and is often integrated with broader advisory support related to capital readiness, governance, and execution.
This service area supports African enterprises, investors, funds, strategic partners, and intermediaries seeking well-aligned, credible, and sustainable partnerships.
