Every big change starts with a simple idea.

For young people, that means speaking up in spaces where decisions are made, turning everyday challenges into innovative solutions.

Achieving sustainable development in Africa requires rethinking the relationships, incentives and systems that shape capital flows and determine who benefits.

"𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒖𝒔." That line carried @sara_lomelin's TED talk at the #10thEAPC. It turns one person's vision and effort into a shared vision, combined effort, and multiplied impact. 𝓣𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓲𝓼 𝓬𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓰𝓲𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓰.

Powerful conversations today on the future of philanthropy in East Africa. As funding landscapes shift, local giving and strategic partnerships are becoming more important than ever. #EAPC2026 | @EAPhilanthropy

𝑫𝒂𝒚 𝒐𝒏𝒆 did not open with a theory about capital. It put the instruments on the table and asked the room to build.

Strategic foresight is now part of responsible stewardship and belongs in leadership, governance, learning, and planning. It belongs where decisions are actually made ~ @MaqCEricGitau CEO @DevelopDynamics #10thEAPC @EAPhilanthropy @Hewlett_Found @MottFoundation @nguvucollective

@CKyobutungi We celebrate you.

Imagine a reality where Development sector practitioners can tell their own stories in a safe and unhurried environment.

Such a reality exists on our #ImpactStorytelling podcast, #DDWithMaqC. The #JohnMugo story continues!

#EntityToEcosystem

[Development Dynamics @DevelopDynamics]

The challenges of 2025 — authoritarianism, climate breakdown, rising inequality — remind us that silos won’t save us.
We need to think beyond projects & programs.
We need to think in #ecosystems. 🌍
Introducing: the Spectrum of Collective Impact.🧵
#SystemsChange👇

[Development Dynamics @DevelopDynamics]

Why does this matter?

Because funders, practitioners & policymakers often over-invest in entities… …while neglecting the 'glue' that sustains networks, communities & ecosystems.

The Spectrum helps us see where we are & what shifts are needed for #CollectiveAction
