Abstract

The role of external actors has now been widely acknowledged in shaping social policy processes in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, the social policy roles and influence of philanthropic donors have been less recognised and examined. As various countries in the region seek to expand social policy implementation and delivery and revitalise the development of national welfare systems, it is important to better understand the roles and functions of philanthropic donor agencies in the processes of agenda-setting, financing, and delivery of social policy. This article discusses the complex social policy functions held by philanthropic donor agencies in sub-Saharan Africa through the lens of the “welfare mix,” drawing attention to the divergencies and convergences between Western philanthropic donors and their African counterparts, while reflecting on the direction of future research agendas.
撒哈拉以南非洲的慈善捐助机构和社会政策--"福利组合 "的新视角
外部行动者在影响撒哈拉以南非洲社会政策进程中的作用现已得到广泛承认。然而,慈善捐助方在社会政策方面的作用和影响却较少得到认可和研究。随着该地区各国寻求扩大社会政策的执行和实施,并重振国家福利制度的发展,更好地了解慈善捐助机构在社会政策的议程制定、资金筹措和实施过程中的作用和职能就显得尤为重要。本文通过 "福利组合 "的视角,讨论了撒哈拉以南非洲地区慈善捐助机构所承担的复杂的社会政策职能,提请人们注意西方慈善捐助机构与非洲同行之间的差异和趋同,同时反思未来研究议程的方向。
