Our mission is to strengthen the nonprofit ecosystem by providing a collaborative space where NGOs, civil society organizations, government agencies, and private sector partners can share solutions and form strategic alliances. This annual Expo is a catalyst for new initiatives and a springboard for scalable impact, aligned with Ethiopia’s development priorities and global Sustainable Development Goals.
2026 Theme – Connecting Ideas, Building Partnerships, Accelerating Impact
This year’s theme underscores the Expo’s core purpose: breaking down silos and fostering collaboration. Connecting Ideas means bringing together innovative projects and lessons learned from across communities and sectors. Building Partnerships encourages NGOs, donors, businesses, and government bodies to form alliances that can amplify their reach and resources. Accelerating Impact focuses on turning these ideas and partnerships into actionable programs that improve lives faster and more sustainably. Throughout the conference sessions and expo floor, expect conversations and showcases centered on collaboration and high-impact solutions.
