As part of its annual project to recognize and acknowledge several NGOs across the African continent who have contributed immensely to the growth and livelihood of persons living in Africa, emerging Pan African Events Engineering, Management Consulting, Marketing & Communications, and Professional Development Company, ICS Africa, has published the maiden edition of the annual 2020 Top 50 NGOs in Africa ranking.

This project in line with its purpose to influence and empower individuals and organizations to create positive change and inspiration in Africa.

The list is centered on recognizing the top 50 impactful non-profit organizations across Africa for their independent contributions towards the development of the African continent.

These organizations through their works are being recognized as pacesetters and model organizations to emulate because of the hope imposed in us through the results of their initiatives and support to other organizations and individuals who we recognize as partners in development.

This inaugural list was published in alphabetical order without public voting, however, in partnership with Africa’s leading PR, Rating, and Research organization, Avance Media, the list features and includes regional and international social impact game-changers whose influence in Africa cannot be underestimated.

They have contributed a significant amount of finances and expertise to ensure growth and development in various sectors on the continent.

Founder and Chief Executive of ICS Africa, Emmaline Datey, noted that the annual rankings of Top NGOs in Africa will continue to serve as a motivation to encourage NGOs or social impact organizations who have made a difference in Africa to continue to make lasting impact as well as encourage more emerging NGOs to continue to grow their brands through selfless service to Africans in consistent excellence, integrity, creativity and innovation.
