    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).

    Country Report 2020: Kenya
    (2020-10) Mati, Jacob Mwathi
    Philanthropy—i.e., the private giving of time or valuables (money, security, property) for public purposes—is an age-old social practice that binds societies together (Salamon, Sokolowski, and Sturza 1992; Payton, 1988; Payton and Moody, 2008; Moyo, 2016). In many parts of Africa, philanthropy is deeply embedded in everyday practices characterized by a reciprocal obligation dynamic (Mati, 2020b). Philanthropy, as a social exchange, has undergone transformations, especially in terms of scope and structure over time. Specifically, philanthropy as experienced in Kenya and the rest of Africa has, in recent decades, evolved from practices deeply embedded in everyday prosocial behaviors to some form of formal institutionalization (Fowler and Mati, 2019; Moyo, 2016).

    Country Report 2020: South Africa
    (2020-10) Murisa, Tendai; Murat-Prater, Karly
    South Africa scored 3.80 according to the Global Philanthropy Environment Index Overall Score, the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Philanthropy in South Africa like in many other African countries is multifaceted, comprising of the highly informalized forms of peer-to-peer giving to the highly structured giving by foundations established by corporations or high net worth individuals (HNWIs).

    Country Report 2020: Tanzania
    (2020-10) Mati, Jacob Mwathi
    Data from the East Africa Philanthropy Data Portal by Candid and East Africa Philanthropy Network (2020) indicates that 21 Tanzania-based funders collectively disbursed a total of 1,223 grants amounting to USD 26.7 million between 2003 and 2019 to 932 different organizations spread across four countries (Tanzania, Zimbabwe, India, and United States). Of this amount, a total of USD 2,648,483, representing 9.9 percent of total grants during this period was granted to non-Tanzanian domiciled organizations by Tanzanian donors/philanthropists. Of this, USD 1,936,380 (7.24 percent) was granted to faith-based institutions such as temples in India. This is probably a reflection of a substantial number of Tanzanian citizens of Indian descent. A further USD 707,713 (2.65 percent) was granted to organizations domiciled in the United States, though most of them operate in Tanzania. Finally, USD 4,390 (0.02 percent) was granted to Harare-based Women in Law and Development in Zimbabwe. In effect, 90.1 percent of all grants made by local philanthropic actors are to recipients based in Tanzania. As such, Tanzanian Philanthropy, unlike in neighboring Kenya, is more national in terms of its grant making.

    Country Report 2020: Uganda
    (2020-10) Murisa, Tendai
    Uganda, like many other African countries, has a long tradition of philanthropy that is mostly influenced by culture and by religious practices. A significant percentage of giving in Uganda happens informally and therefore remains largely undocumented (Pascal 2015). Local philanthropy in Uganda focuses mostly on addressing immediate needs such as food, education, health, access to social amenities, and empowerment of marginalized groups.

    (2009) Center for Global Prosperity, Hudson Institute, Dr. Carol Adelman; Norris, Jeremiah; Siegel, Judith; Miller, Patricia; Metcalf, Heidi; Baker, David; Spantchak, Yulya
    In the ever-changing world of international development, the Center for Global Prosperity (CGP) has made its own changes, among them a new name for its premier publication. It has become the Index of Global Philanthropy and Remittances to highlight the critical role remittances play in alleviating poverty abroad. Total remittances from industrial countries to the developing world were $145 billion dollars in 2007—nearly one and one-half times larger than all governments’ Official Development Assistance at $103.5 billion and three times larger than private philanthropy at $49.1 billion.
