The 4th African Women in Philanthropy Conference 2026(Ghana Edition) will bring together women philanthropists, social investors, development leaders, and changemakers from Ghana, Africa and around the world to inspire action, foster collaboration, and advance sustainable social impact.

Co-organised by Women in Philanthropy Ghana (WiP-Ghana), the conference will be held under the Ghana Philanthropy Week theme, “Beyond Aid: Financing Ghana’s Future Through Local Philanthropy and Social Investment.” Discussions will focus on mobilising local resources, strengthening cultures of giving, expanding social investment, and positioning women as key drivers of sustainable development and community resilience.

The platform seeks to strengthen collaboration among the next generation of leaders advancing philanthropy, social investment, community development, and positive social change across West Africa.
The National Policy Dialogue on Philanthropy and Social Investment is Ghana’s emerging flagship platform for advancing policy, partnerships and local resource mobilisation for sustainable development. Led by the Ubuntu Giving Alliance and partners, it brings together government, philanthropy, private sector, civil society, academia and development partners to strengthen Ghana’s philanthropy and social investment ecosystem.
The Dialogue begins in 2026 with a High-Level Consultation focused on advancing the development of a National Philanthropy and Social Investment Policy for Ghana. It will subsequently serve as a sustained platform for policy engagement, evidence, coordination and action, succeeding the annual Ghana Giving Summit/Ghana Philanthropy Conference.
