Welcome to our latest instalment of Alliance Audio.
Alliance Editor Charles Keidan hosts a discussion with Dr Joanna Macrae, Director of European Partnerships at GiveDirectly; Dilhani Wijeyesekera, International Development Consultant at Comic Relief; and Ben Morton Wright, President and Group CEO of Global Philanthropic, about philanthropy’s involvement with international development and the Sustainable Development Goals.
The OECD estimates that $6.5 billion of philanthropy goes to SDGs each year. But that’s a fraction of overall philanthropic dollars and the global aid budget. Should more be given, and where? And are the SDGs the best framework for philanthropy in any case?
This is the third in a new series debating key issues in philanthropy with guests from across the foundation world.
