Global interest in the field of philanthropy and social investment in Africa and continents outside of Euro-America is growing exponentially. Recent years have seen a considerable increase in research and writings related to these topics. Despite this, the study of these fields is in a nascent stage, with very little formal academic research, teaching, and publication available in Africa.
What We Discuss With Dr. Keratiloe
• What do you believe needs to happen to bridge the gap in the study and practice of philanthropy in Africa?
• What are some of the challenges faced by African philanthropies when cooperating with international initiatives?
• It could be said that philanthropy is ingrained in African culture. Why do you think this is not recognised, and philanthropy is now associated with western organisations?
• What steps can individuals and organisations take to rewrite the narrative of African philanthropy and challenge any existing stereotypes or misconceptions?
• How should philanthropies engage with local communities to ensure that philanthropic efforts are culturally sensitive and impactful?
