Here are a few ways that AWDF \u00a0is focusing its efforts on development, poverty alleviation, social justice, economic empowerment, women\u2019s human rights, and more.<\/span>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

The African Philanthropy\u00a0Network
\n<\/b>The African Philanthropy\u00a0Network (APN)\u00a0is a continent-wide network of African grantmaking organizations that facilitates networking and experience-sharing among established and emerging African philanthropic institutions. The APN aims at consolidating the voice for African philanthropy to address social injustice and development issues on the continent.\u00a0The inaugural APN Assembly was held in November 2010, with more than 250 participants.<\/span><\/p>\n

In July 2015, the AWDF will host\u00a0the third APN Assembly<\/a>, and will bring together leaders in philanthropy to discuss the growth of African economies through philanthropy development. This year’s theme \u201cPhilanthropy in Africa 2015 \u2013 People, Policy and Practice,\u201d<\/em> will include conversations on the impact of governance on philanthropy, while seeking to unearth good practice through knowledge building, research, experience sharing and skills building in each of these critical areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The program will foreground contributions to philanthropy in Africa by critical constituencies such as women, youth and other marginalized groups. This exciting action focused program will bring together thought leaders, practitioners, academics, the media and other key actors to the table in Arusha.\u00a0Learn more<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
