01/21/22 • 15 min
Niamani Mutima hosts this monthly audio newsletter produced by the ,Africa Grantmakers’ Affinity Group (AGAG) . Over the past two decades AGAG has brought together funders, civil society leaders, scholars, and practitioners to learn from each other and build an informed, engaged, and connected network. Through this audio newsletter we share information about their work.
In this episode, we highlight the Research and Resources on COVID-19 in Africa on our website that includes reports on how civil society organizations in different regions are being affected by the pandemic. We discuss what funders shared at the beginning of the pandemic during the “Discussion Series: Navigating the Impact of COVID-19" about taking a more flexible approach to reporting requirements and how funds were used. An excerpt from our “Conversations With” series episode about philanthropy’s response in South Africa that questions if South African funders will continue to be flexible. We conclude with highlights from the report, “Conversations With Africa Grantmakers: Reflections on Navigating Roles and Relationships” that interviewed grantmakers about their career paths, lessons learned, and how they manage the different roles and relationships that are part of the grantmaking process.
“No matter why you listen, you’re sure to become more informed”.

Niamani Mutima hosts this monthly audio newsletter produced by the Africa Grantmakers’ Affinity Group (AGAG) . Over the past two decades, AGAG has brought together funders, civil society leaders, scholars, and practitioners to learn from each other and build an informed, engaged, and connected network.

In this episode, we highlight our recent website blog on Philanthropy and Higher Education in Africa that includes reports on philanthropy support for higher education in Africa and organizations working to strengthen the higher education sectors in countries across Africa.
We discuss the different ways foundations are supporting higher education from funding universities to supporting networks to providing research fellowships. An Interview clip provides insights into the findings of a recent report on funding for higher education and how those findings connect to the findings of the Africa Grantmakers' Affinity Group 2015 report on US Foundation Funding for Africa. We discuss African national, regional, and continental organizations working on higher education issues. We conclude with a spotlight on programs that are supporting the next generation of academics and hear an interview clip about a foundation's support for young African scholars is supporting African knowledge creation.
