Unveiling the Cause of Poverty in Africa: A Call for Research and Policy Formulation!

Change starts with us! Let's advocate for fair licensing agreements that benefit all. #BeTheChange #FairnessForAll

Over the span of 50 years leading up to 2015, Africa has suffered a devastating loss of over 1 Trillion USD due to Illicit Financial Flows. This substantial figure represents funds that should have been invested in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and other vital sectors, ultimately improving the lives of millions of people across the continent.

It's time to shed light on this issue and demand change. Support the cause by tweeting #BongwongJustinBerinyuy at https://twitter.com/BongwongJ and subscribing to the newsletter at https://www.dhirubhai.net/newsletters/building-the-capacity-of-cbos-7057619408961073153/.

We need to empower and inspire Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and local NGOs to develop the knowledge, tools, and connections necessary to fuel their purpose. By doing so, they can become highly engaged communities, accessing innovative thinking, best practices, and collaborative networks that will ensure their constant growth and ability to resource the causes they serve.

Through articles like these, CBOs are inspired to network and take collective action that has a real impact. Some have already partnered as a result of such engagements, amplifying their voices for underrepresented communities and grassroots organizations, as well as underfunded causes.
