\n- Limited capacity:<\/strong> Weak institutional, policy, and human resources for philanthropy in Africa.<\/li>\n
- Lack of localisation:<\/strong> Philanthropic practices often imported, with little grounding in African contexts.<\/li>\n
- Missed alignment:<\/strong> Giving is not fully connected to Africa\u2019s own development priorities and agendas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
