CONSULTANCY CALL SUMMARY

The Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative is inviting technical and financial proposals for the development of its Resource Mobilisation Strategy (2026-2030). This consultancy seeks to address existing funding gaps, diversify MANI’s funding base, and establish a sustainable financing framework to support the implementation of its upcoming Strategic Plan (2026-2030).

ABOUT MENTALLY AWARE NIGERIA INITIATIVE

The Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative is a youth-led, youth-run nonprofit organisation established in 2015 and registered under the Corporate Affairs Commission as an Incorporated Trustee. MANI works to increase mental health awareness, reduce stigma, promote help-seeking behaviours, and improve access to mental health support services for young people and communities across Nigeria.

Over the years, MANI has grown into one of Africa’s leading youth mental health organisations, implementing advocacy campaigns, free therapy initiatives, campus programs, community-based interventions, and policy engagement efforts.

As Nigeria implements its National Mental Health Act and decentralises mental health services, MANI seeks to strengthen its institutional sustainability and scale its impact nationwide.

BACKGROUND

Sustainability and financial resilience are strategic priorities for MANI as it transitions into its next five-year strategic cycle (2026-2030).

Currently, MANI relies significantly on project-based funding and a limited number of institutional donors. While this has enabled program growth, it exposes the organisation to financial vulnerability and limits long-term planning.

To ensure sustainability, MANI aims to:

  • Diversify funding sources beyond traditional grant donors
  • Strengthen relationships with corporate and private sector partners
  • Explore philanthropy, digital giving, and individual donor programs
  • Improve internal fundraising systems and donor stewardship

The Resource Mobilisation Strategy (2026-2030) will provide a structured and actionable roadmap to achieve these objectives.
