Reimagining African Philanthropy for Self-Determination

As the global philanthropic landscape evolves, a new generation of African givers and institutions are reimagining what effective philanthropy looks like on the continent. This panel explores how African-led philanthropic models can move beyond dependency on external donors, center local knowledge and agency, and channel resources toward the initiatives that matter most to African communities.
