Creating Community: the Story of AGAG is part of the Africa Grantmakers' Affinity Group (AGAG) Legacy Project. This episode features excerpts from interviews with a diverse group of 20 grantmaking practitioners who participated in AGAG's activities over the past 23 years.
Through their own voices and reflections, we learn how and why AGAG emerged in 2000 how its evolution was influenced by global events and discussions about philanthropy practices and narratives about Africa . Their candid comments reveal what made AGAG a unique, welcoming, and valued space where new and experienced grantmaking practitioners found a political and intellectual home that challenged them to learn from each other and grow.
The interviews were conducted in the spring of 2022 by Niamani Mutima, AGAG's Executive Director. Those interviewed participated as individual grantmaking practitioners and not as representatives of their current or former organizations.
