Change the Game Academy empowers Self Help Groups (SHGs), Community Based Organisations (CBOs) and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) all over the world, and especially in low and middle income countries, to learn to raise funds locally and to mobilise other kinds of support. The problem - Currently, many parts of our world face political instability, climate crisis and a diminishing civic voice. Foreign funding is drying up. Communities need and deserve access to essential know-how to shape their own future. That is why a group of social change organisations from the global South and North decided to change the ‘rules' of the ‘development game' to #ShiftThePower. Our solution - Every community has resources available that they can pool together to drive the change they want to see. Change the Game Academy was created by Wilde Ganzen Foundation (Netherlands), CESE (Brazil), Kenya Community Development Foundation (Kenya) and Smile Foundation (India) to offer changemakers access to essential skills they need to mobilise local funding and support. We've created a community of Game Changers joining, from as many as 61 countries – and counting – through dynamic live courses in 12 countries and for free online.Join us, learn and share!
