Today's Deep Dive reflects on The 2024 Grantmakers Summit: Empowering Strategic Philanthropy in East Africa—a gathering designed to foster collaboration, spark innovation, and equip grantmakers with tools to excel in the evolving field of social impact. This article captures key discussion points from the Summit through the lens of Kabutu Kelvin, DD's Finance and Human Capital Senior Associate. #DeepDives #DDAt5 #grantmaking #philanthropy

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!

As we reflect on the culmination of 16 Days of Activism, the question remains: how do we forge collaborations, harness diverse strengths, and work as collectives to build impactful movements?

Together, we can transform shared strategies into meaningful change. #16DaysOfActivism #MovementBuilding #DDAt5 #EndGBV
