Identification of private sectors to maximize aid efficiency in Africa
The project aimed to gain a better understanding of private actors involved in various forms of strategic and charitable “philanthropy” in Africa. These private actors included private foundations (individuals, families and communities), corporate foundations, business in-kind, and CSR programs, and an emerging type of philanthropy that has commercial and social objectives (hybrid actors or approaches).
The research positioned these private actors within the aid landscape from the supply side (e.g. multilateral donors, bilateral donors, global programs, vertical funds, individuals) and the recipient side (e.g. international intermediaries, African governments -national, local-, African implementing partners, and end beneficiaries). It also examined the political economy with regard to the way this “aid landscape” functioned. Therein it gained the views of African governments, African based implementing partners, and African philanthropists.
