Epic-Africa found that 56% of respondents lost funding and 69% had reduced or cancelled program operations; at the same time, 85% reported being involved in the COVID-19 response, and 45% were optimistic that CSOs would emerge from this crisis stronger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The gulf between how Africa\u2019s middle class and informal workers are experiencing COVID-19 and the restrictive measures that have been put in place to mitigate the spread. While middle class professionals may have the opportunity to work from home, informal workers in small commerce, transportation and trades still must get about in the marketplace to eek out a daily living, especially women.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How funders can use this moment to adapt their practices to support a more resilient civil society, especially in Africa. Most grants to African civil society are still 12\u201318 months; funders must do more to provide longer-term, general operating support to ensure the financial and organizational health of the sector, which is proving it is both adaptable and crucial to the COVID-19 response.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"d376\">In the coming weeks we have more Coronavignettes with the African Centre for Studies of the United States, the Media Foundation for West Africa, and Open Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hewlettfoundationig.medium.com\/epic-africa-covid-19-is-a-moment-for-funders-to-interrogate-their-approach-to-supporting-social-2cab67afc5b3\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hewlettfoundationig.medium.com\/epic-africa-covid-19-is-a-moment-for-funders-to-interrogate-their-approach-to-supporting-social-2cab67afc5b3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the original article<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this eighth \u201cCoronavignette,\u201d we continue to share conversations with leaders of civil society organizations in Africa on how COVID-19 affects their work.
