Funders International Network for Development – The African Philanthropy Ecosystem: Weaving Partnerships and Collaborations
The fourth webinar of the “Evolving Practices of International Cooperation” peer-learning journey will take place on 12 March exploring “The African Philanthropy Ecosystem: Weaving Partnerships and Collaborations” organised by the Funders International Network for Development (FIND).
The African philanthropy ecosystem 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 an increased African voice and say over the type of programmes they want to create and be funded, particularly on the African continent.
Looking to the African Philanthropy Network, we can understand African philanthropy as resources, nature, human, financial, social, and intellectual that can be engaged to address Africa’s most pressing challenges. How does the African philanthropy landscape look like today and what are the opportunities and challenges for philanthropic partnerships with the FIND members?
This session will feature different voices from the African continent to present current developments, trends and insights on the African philanthropic landscape, as well as new ways of working together and collaborating.
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.
