The Centre for Disability and Inclusion Africa (CDIA) has been recognized as the leading Disability Inclusion Nonprofit in Africa for 2025. This honor was announced by Acquisition International, a UK-based global organization that annually conducts a rigorous selection process to recognize outstanding nonprofit organizations around the world.
The award was part of Acquisition International’s 2025 Non-Profit Organisation Awards, now in its fifth year. The awards program celebrates and acknowledges the impactful work of nonprofits—from grassroots charities to large international foundations—committed to improving lives and driving positive social change across the globe.
The nonprofit sector plays a critical role in tackling major global challenges such as poverty, education, healthcare, and environmental protection. With over 10 million organizations operating worldwide, the sector continues to grow rapidly, driven by heightened awareness of social issues, greater funding, and technological innovation.
Recent data indicates a surge in demand for nonprofit services, with 75% of nonprofits reporting increased service needs. The global charitable giving market is also on the rise, projected to surpass $500 billion by 2026. As the sector evolves, it is expected to expand its influence further, with emerging trends shaping its development and strategic priorities.
