    A Literature Review of African Philanthropy and Higher Education in Africa
    (indiana University, 2024-09-30) Kumi, Emmanuel

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.
