Issue 1: Unveiling the heart of philanthropy
Welcome to our special issue on African Philanthropy. The work in the Centre for Philanthropy and Communities seeks to address increasing poverty and inequality, limited coherence of policies across the philanthropy sector, and the challenge of increased dependency on external resources with limited leveraging of local resources. We have done this by leveraging technology and creating a digital giving platform, generating knowledge on the legislative space in Africa, and creating an index to measure the level of freedom of philanthropy environments in different African countries. This issue of the magazine is a focus on our thoughts and activities in the area of philanthropy and community activities.
