The white paper further offers examples of some large cash and in-kind donations from African donors in advancing higher education across the continent with the hope to inspire more major and everyday donors to join forces in driving transformative changes in higher education for Africa.en-USInternational PhilanthropyAfricaPhilanthropy in AfricaHigher EducationEngagement of African Donors in Advancing Higher Education in Sub-Saharan AfricaReport
