Education philanthropy in Africa

Catalysing impact

The International Education Funders Group (IEFG), in partnership with the African Union (AU), Africa Philanthropy Network (APN), Africa Venture Philanthropy Association (AVPA), the Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment (CAPSI), East Africa Philanthropy Network (EAPN), Global Partnership for Education (GPE), the Independent Philanthropy Association South Africa (IPASA), OECD’s network of foundations working on development (netFWD) and Trust Africa has developed a spotlight report on trends in education philanthropy across Africa.

This report is part of this key group’s commitment to advancing evidence-based discussions during the African Union’s Year of Education on the current state, impact, and future potential of education philanthropy in Africa.

Join this webinar to discuss the key findings and critical questions from the report, including:  

• Is philanthropy in Africa reaching its full potential to support education for all? If not, why not?
• How can philanthropy effectively catalyse and shape future investments in education?
• What can be done to address the "gaps on the map" - areas where philanthropy's presence is minimal?
