Rethinking global philanthropy:
Can philanthropy bridge the development gap?
Rethinking global philanthropy:
Can philanthropy bridge the development gap?
Never before in history have we seen so much philanthropic money being spread to improve the state of the world. Who are the leaders and innovators of this new philanthropy? What is its impact on developing countries?
This forum will gather, during a full day, more than 20 high level speakers – philanthropists, entrepreneurs, leaders, academic and development experts- so as to debate about the main innovations, successes but also limits of today’s “philanthrocapitalism”. A particular focus will be brought to the African continent, which concentrates both the world’s greatest challenges and hopes.
