Podcast | Shrinking Funds for Nonprofits

What would the world be like without civil society and non-governmental organisations?

In this 6th episode of the Eurochild podcast, we explore the shrinking funding available to civil society organisations. Similar to the funding cuts experienced by USAID, cutbacks are now taking place across Europe. EU resources and political focus are increasingly being redirected towards military spending, border control, and defence innovation. As a result, programmes that support children, families, and other marginalised groups are being targeted. The threat is real and Europe is not immune.

The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
