Programme Overview
The Summit is not being organized like a regular conference. The main purpose of the two days will be to build connections and foster conversations between participants towards a collective and linked up framework for people-led development. Community philanthropy – with its emphasis on local assets, strengthening communities and building trust – is one set of tools and principles that can help achieve this.
Through the open call for session proposals, we received many excellent ideas as to specific issues to focus on, examples of innovative tools and practice, topics for donors etc. Working with the Advisory Committee, and using the Summit hashtag #ShiftThePower as a framing statement, we have developed a framework which identifies 8 Pillars of “good development” (see below). The programme will revolve around these.
