1. There is need to adopt an ‘Outcome-Based Approach to Philanthropy’. Policies should focus on defining clear, measurable outcomes at the onset of any philanthropic initiative. There should be a robust plan of action that includes outcome-based financing to ensure that resources are effectively utilised and that the impact can be measured and evaluated.
2. Local Governments need to be strengthened by providing them with financial stability and autonomy. Offer tax incentives to enhance productivity, enabling local authorities to drive community development, particularly focusing on the capacity-building of women and marginalised groups.
3. Cross-sector collaborations are essential where organisations, both public and private, work together to amplify their impact. Collective efforts will achieve far-reaching and sustainable outcomes, which are often limited when initiatives are undertaken in isolation.
