In September, Development Dynamics launched its Luminaries Booklet titled "The Lives, Times, and Chapters of Luminaries Shaping Positive Change in Africa: Reflections from Leaders and Practitioners in the Development and Social Impact Ecosystem." 🎁📚 As we wrap up the year, DD would like to give away five books. This volume, filled with inspiring stories and valuable insights, is a must-have for anyone interested in #development, #philanthropy, and the #purposeeconomy. It will not only inform but also help you understand key issues and innovative solutions in these fields. 🌟To receive a copy, we’d love to hear from you: In your field of development, who would you nominate to be a luminary? Who is someone you believe inspires and influences others, and would be a great addition to the second volume of The Luminaries Booklet? Share your thoughts by emailing experience@dd.co.ke for a chance to receive a book!
