🌍 All Hands on Deck: Unlocking and Redirecting Funds for Transformative Impact 🌍 Last week, Adeso participated in the African Philanthropy Forum in Marrakech, where executive director Degan Ali, joined a dynamic panel of impact leaders: Almaz Negash, Priscilla Boiardi, Gibril Faal, Eme Essien Lore to discuss unlocking funding from African sources to drive transformative change across the continent. 🌴 A New Agenda for African Philanthropy 🌴 The African Philanthropy Forum highlighted the dawn of a new era in philanthropy—one that is agile, collaborative, and laser-focused on catalyzing funding to accelerate Africa’s transformation. This conference provided a vital platform for fostering meaningful dialogue aimed at enhancing both South-South and North-South collaborations. Together, we explored innovative solutions to redirect funding flows and ensure that resources are allocated where they can make the most significant impact. 💡 "It's about developing the infrastructure to address the issues around risk and capacity so that money is distributed effectively to proximate groups working on environmental and humanitarian issues on the ground." - Degan Ali at APF By leveraging local and global partnerships, we are collectively shaping a brighter, more prosperous future where people thrive through their own resourcefulness. ✨ Join Us in the Movement: As we are redefining the landscape of philanthropy in Africa through collaboration and strengthening the ecosystem of African-led sustainable development, we invite you to engage with us on this journey toward unlocking the full potential of our continent. ▶️ Sign up to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eQZV9u_B 💡 "Part of the narrative change and decolonizing ourselves is really about the recognition of what a philanthropist is and recognising that the biggest philanthropists are the people in the communities." - Degan Ali at APF African Philanthropy Forum African Diaspora Network OECD - OCDE GK Partners #DecolonisingAid #DecolonizingAid #ShiftThePower
