Constructing a Developmental and Transformational Philanthropy in Africa Towards a New Regulatory Common Sense

This paper explores the development of a new form of philanthropy in Africa, one that is both developmental and transformational. It examines the challenges of traditional philanthropic practices and argues for a more localized, context-specific approach that aligns with Africa’s unique social and economic conditions. The study discusses the regulatory frameworks needed to support this new form of philanthropy and how they can foster social change in African communities. By analyzing the role of philanthropy in addressing issues such as poverty and inequality, the paper provides a framework for promoting sustainable development through strategic giving.
