## Resource

This is a defining conversation on: The Role of Pan-African Philanthropy in Financing Governance and Public Policy. Host: Takudzwa Ngadziore (MPP) Co-host: Lorna Akoacha Enow (MPP) Guest: Briggs Bomba, Director of Programs at TrustAfrica The conversation is important as: It provides a practical framework for leveraging traditional values such as Ubuntu ( I am because you are) and Harambee (community fundraising) to mobilize domestic resources for democratic strengthening, reducing dependency on external donors whose priorities may not align with local needs. It comes at a critical moment when democratic governance in Africa faces growing pressures from shrinking civic space, youth disenfranchisement, and governance deficits, making homegrown financial solutions more urgent than ever. The guest Briggs Bomba serves as the Programs Director for TrustAfrica, a pan-African foundation that works across Africa to promote democratic governance and equitable development.
