Clare Woodcraft: reimagining philanthropy in the Global South

Shaping Philanthropy

How did Covid-19 change philanthropy in the Global South?
Reimagining philanthropy in the Global South: from analysis to action in a post-Covid world is a new book that tackles this very question. Join one of its editors, Clare Woodcraft, to find out more about the lessons learned, and how global south philanthropists are rewriting the giving playbook.
"We wanted to contribute to the new discourse around shifting the power balance from the Global North to the Global South and give an opportunity not just for us as researchers, academics to talk about it, but also for practitioners to talk about it," Clare explains to our host, Anissa Punjani.
Clare, a former CEO of Emirates Foundation, and until recently the executive director of the centre for Strategic Philanthropy at the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, also gives her views on the state of Arab philanthropy, and the exciting developments she's seeing in the region, from innovative next gen strategies, to new partnerships and collaborations.
Reimagining philanthropy in the Global South: from analysis to action in a post-Covid world, edited by Clare Woodcraft, Kamal Munir, and Nitya Mohan Khemka, was published by Cambridge University Press in February 2024. Contributing authors include: Naina Subberwal Batra; Olivia Leland; Silvia Bastante de Unverhau; Natasha M. Matic; Maysa Jalbout; Katy Bullard; and Deval Sanghvi.
