This book offers a nuanced analysis of a US-led foundation
initiative of uncommon ambition, featuring seven foundations with a
shared commitment to strengthen capacity in higher education in
Sub-Saharan African universities. The book examines the conditions
under which philanthropy can be effective, the impasses that
foundations often face, and the novel context in which philanthropy
operates today. This study therefore assesses the shifting grounds
on which higher education globally is positioned and the role of
global philanthropy within these changing contexts. This is
especially important in a moment where higher education is once
again recognized as a driver of development and income growth,
where knowledge economies requiring additional levels of education
are displacing economies predicated on manufacturing, and in a
context where higher education itself appears increasingly
precarious and under dramatic pressures to adapt to new conditions.
