Philanthropy Economics

Author's name: Badr Jaafar

The book asserts that charitable work is based on faith in the individual and society to confront the challenges of wars, pandemics, poverty, and climate change. The text explains that individual generosity is no longer sufficient to address these immense crises, thus requiring:

Strategic philanthropy: Shifting towards concrete, coordinated actions to amplify the impact of giving.
Tripartite cooperation: Integration between partners in philanthropy, the private sector and the government to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
Geographical focus: Exploiting opportunities in emerging regions such as Africa, Asia and the Middle East where increasing wealth meets growing needs.
The roles of philanthropy: It acts as a "catalyst, incubator, and partner" to confront injustice and inequality.
Innovation pillars: investing in education, supporting entrepreneurs, employing digital technology, and combining risk and capital.
Characteristics of philanthropists: Reliance on empathy, curiosity, courage, and mutual trust to achieve human development.
The book brings together the insights of global leaders and philanthropists (such as Bill Gates, Muhammad Yunus, and figures from the Gulf and around the world) to demonstrate that philanthropy contributes to developing collaborative solutions to the biggest social and environmental problems.
