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.

We sit down with Moki Makura, Executive Director of African No Filter, to discuss what Africa must build for itself in a changing global landscape. From the end of aid dependency to the rise of intra-African trade, Moki challenges us to rethink how we talk about the continent and how we talk to each other. We explore why mindset matters more than money, why Africans must invest in knowing each other, and how climate solutions need to be rooted in African realities, not Western frameworks.
Most importantly, Moki reminds us that Africa isn't just waking up now, many are already building. We just need to start telling those stories.
