With USAID frozen & European governments cutting aid, #philanthropy must rethink its role, & prioritise local giving, advocacy & resilience. @BenBellegy shares his thoughts on how philanthropy can step in to strengthen local ecosystems & collective action: https://t.co/A9mzwL9cAn

My new @Alliancemag blog on USAID's freeze. Over the weekend USAID's website was shut down while Musk was accusing the agency of being a criminal organization. Philanthropy ecosystems are critical to unlocking new resources and shaping a "post-aid" world.

In the context of #ClimateChange, inequality, and wars, we need to re-think our worldviews and the kind of society we want to build. That is when we can decolonise #philanthropy - @BenBellegy #AfPhilConf2024
