A column on the people and institutions building Africa’s development future from within
Vincent Mwangi has spent his career asking what development looks like when African communities are treated not as beneficiaries, but as the authors of their own futures.
In Homegrown Horizons, the Kenyan philanthropy leader looks beyond the familiar debates about aid and localization to the institutions, movements and ideas already taking shape across the continent.
From food sovereignty and community philanthropy to a new African philanthropic architecture, Mwangi follows the people building alternatives to dependency – and asks what it will take for locally rooted power to endure.
