Funders International Network for Development – Aligning Funder Strategies between Global North and South
The second webinar of the “Evolving Practices of International Cooperation” peer-learning journey will take place on 11 December exploring “Aligning Funder Strategies between Global North and South”, organised by the Funders International Network for Development (FIND).
African philanthropy has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, including the growth of private foundations and funds, family and community-based initiatives, individual giving and collective solidarity mechanisms. Driven in part by the increasing wealth of Africa’s affluent class, this rise in philanthropic activity is giving way to increased African voice and say over the type of programmes they want to create and be funded, particularly on the African continent.
At a time when global aid flows are facing uncertainty, the prominence of African philanthropists is more crucial than ever. African philanthropic contributions also provide a vital, fresh perspective to locally-led development and underscore the importance of the principle of “nothing about us without us.” This webinar will bring the voices of African philanthropy to the forefront, such as guest speaker Ebrima Sall, Trust Africa, to enrich the broader philanthropic sector with diverse insights and innovative approaches.
This second webinar will feature a keynote by Ebrima Sall, Trust Africa, followed by a series of moderated group activities which address how philanthropists in Europe can better align their strategies with African philanthropic organisations.
This webinar is part of the “Evolving Practices of International Cooperation” peer-learning journey dedicated to reimagining traditional philanthropic models and exploring new forms of international cooperation tailored for the 21st century.
