    A Literature Review of African Philanthropy and Higher Education in Africa
    (indiana University, 2024-09-30) Kumi, Emmanuel
    To date, there have been no sustained empirical studies on the nuances of the role of African philanthropy in promoting higher education in Africa, the nature of the African philanthropic landscape in higher education, or the opportunities and challenges for financing higher education in Africa. These issues have not been fully studied and recognized in the existing philanthropic and higher education literature. This study, therefore, seeks to provide a thorough review of literature on these issues.

    Country Report 2020: Ghana
    (2020-10) Kumi, Emmanuel
    In 2019, migrant remittance inflows to Ghana was estimated at USD 3.72 billion compared to USD 3.50 billion in 2018 (KNOMAD, 2019). Remittances to Ghana are expected to decline until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic as the income of migrant workers has plummeted, especially for those in Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) member countries. The World Bank (2020) estimates that remittances to sub-Saharan Africa will decline by 21.3 percent and recover by 4.0 percent in 2021 (Ratha et al., 2020).

    One trend in cross-border giving relates to volatility in the amount of giving by foreign philanthropic institutions. An analysis of the historical trend of funding indicates that it increased sharply between 2010 and 2015 (USD 24.43 million to USD 228.39 million). However, there was a decline in 2016 (USD 147.94 million). Funding increased in 2018 (USD 203.17 million) and this trend is expected to continue in the coming years (OECD, 2020a).
