CivSource Africa participated in a regional webinar convened by SIVIO Institute, CAPSI, and the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy on the Global Philanthropy Environment Index for Sub-Saharan Africa. Jacqueline Asiimwe, Founder and CEO of CivSource Africa, joined Dr Omotade Akin Aina and Evans Okinyi in a conversation on how policy, regulation, culture, and local giving practices shape philanthropy across the continent.
