SUSTAINABLY SPEAKING AFRICA

Rethinking Development Finance: A Funder's Perspective | Peter Laugharn


Listen Later

In this conversation, recorded on the sidelines of Africa Exchange, Peter shares how his foundation is reshaping its approach to development, shifting from international intermediaries to local organizations on the ground. From 12% to 40% of funding redirected to local organizations. From aid dependency to locally-led solutions. From funder-as-expert to funder-as-equal partner.
But this isn't just about moving money. It's about rethinking power dynamics in philanthropy, building partnerships where funders approach grantees with humility, not expertise, and recognizing that foundations would not exist without civil society organizations to fund.
