The Giving for Change (GfC) Alliance is led by an international consortium of organizations that share a commitment to community-led development through community and domestic philanthropy. The consortium includes the Global Fund for Community Foundations (GFCF), the African Philanthropy Network (APN), the Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF), and Wilde Ganzen (WG). Together, they are working to implement a five-year programme across eight partner countries: Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Brazil, and Palestine.
To strengthen programme coordination, learning, and reporting, the GfC Alliance organizes an annual face-to-face learning meeting. This event serves as a platform to enhance the network, reflect on outcomes from country-level learning meetings, review the programme’s theory of change and strategy, assess risk analysis, and foster mutual accountability.
The 2024 annual learning and reflection meeting was hosted by the Uganda National NGO Forum in partnership with the Giving for Change (GfC) Alliance. Held from August 11th to 17th, the event was centered around the theme: “Connecting, Supporting, and Influencing Community Philanthropy in a Context of Shrinking Civic Space.”
The main objective of the 2024 meeting was to provide a space for GfC members and partners to take stock of progress made over the past three years, reflect on challenges, and collectively strategize for the remaining period of the programme. More specifically, the event aimed to:
• Share country-specific experiences among GfC partners.
• Build scenarios about the future of the programme.
• Reflect collectively on the future outlook of the GfC programme.
• Strategize on next steps.
• Foster networking and meaningful connections.
