Drawing upon the OECD Centre on Philanthropy’s recent studies on domestic philanthropy in Colombia and South Africa, this side event will convene domestic and international foundations, policy makers and education practitioners to unpack the priorities and nature of domestic philanthropy for education and gender equality, identify its comparative advantages (as compared with international philanthropy and official development assistance), and explore partnership opportunities.
The discussion will focus on the following perspectives:
• What is the scope, scale, and diversity of domestic philanthropic flows in Colombia and South Africa? How does domestic philanthropy compare to international philanthropy and official development flows?
• How does domestic philanthropy support education and gender equality issues?
• How have recent legal reforms impacted the scope of activities philanthropic organisations and their support to local civil society?
