Expanding cross-border philanthropy and partnering with communities in Africa

Expanding cross-border philanthropy and partnering with communities in Africa

As traditional funding sources from governments and international institutions become increasingly constrained, private philanthropy is being called upon to fill the gap. In Africa, where international development aid has traditionally been critical to the work of local charities and social enterprises, the question arises: how can philanthropic resources be effectively mobilised to meet needs and ensure the continued success of innovative programs? This webinar brings together leaders in cross-border philanthropy from within and beyond the region to share insights on the evolving landscape of giving. Speakers will explore strategies for building impactful partnerships between local charitable initiatives and international funders, and discuss the motivations behind why philanthropists and private foundations are choosing to engage across borders to support Africa. Featuring: Kady Sylla Director for Africa & Middle East Myriad USA Hervé Lisoir Head of Programme for Europe & International King Baudouin Foundation
