Story of AGAG - Challenging Narratives and Practices
The "Story of AGAG" podcast series is about the Africa Grantmakers’ Affinity Group (AGAG) and explores the impact of AGAG's work to improve American philanthropic practices related to funding in Africa.
In this episode we hear from grantmaking practitioners who were a part of the network. They share their perspective on AGAG as a unique and valued forum where the narratives about Africa that shape the practices of American funding in Africa were challenged. They describe how the candid discussions about power dynamics, race, and representation influenced them and reflect AGAG’s impact and legacy. The podcast concludes with recommendations from AGAG's Executive Director, Niamani Mutima, for practitioners, grantmaking organizations, and funder networks.
