🌍 The concept of Ubuntu - beautifully articulated by Dr Precious Moloi-Motsepe while discussing philanthropy at #CGI2024 - is a central focus for Protimos, who are working to place this African philosophy at the heart of justice and legal thought. ⚖ Integrating the principles of Ubuntu into legal thinking fosters a more inclusive, equitable and empathetic approach to the delivery of justice. There is growing recognition of Ubuntu as a narrative that accurately reflects the inclusive and integrated society many wish for. 💛 Ubuntu is an emerging legal norm, a concept of inclusivity and mutual responsibility in the diaspora of rights, which not only reflects but also accommodates many of the legal aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). #SDG16 #Ubuntu #ruleoflaw

🌿 Delighted to have attended such an interesting and inspiring meeting and be introduced to the innovative work of Maliasili and their partners #ClimateWeekNYC
Imagine if we moved the funding needle from ~5% of philanthropic funds getting into the hands of local conservation organizations in Africa to just 25% in the next 3 years? That would be 5 times the funding and an exponential increase in impact. This is the kind of thinking and innovating we did with funders and local conservation leaders at our Pledges to Practice event co-hosted with Synchronicity Earth at #ClimateWeekNYC today. At this event we launched the Pledges to Practice report, which shares both principles and practices that funders are using to get more and better funding to local organizations. We had candid conversations about the barriers as well as heard many ways in which funders can overcome those barriers. We are inspired by the forward thinking, the unified desire to change funding practices for the better, and the momentum at which things are starting to shift. As one participant said, “25% is very possible and yet very transformative.” It’s time… Bezos Earth Fund Wildlife Conservation Network Honeyguide Foundation LGT Venture Philanthropy Cartier for Nature The Christensen Fund Liz Claiborne & Art Ortenberg Foundation Good Energies Foundation African Visionary Fund Fanamby Madagascar Ujamaa Community Resource Team Community Wildlife Management Areas Consortium #strongertogether https://lnkd.in/dVeBYVnW

🌎 Protimos Director Isobel Butler joined the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting, in New York. 🤝 The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting has helped set the annual international development agenda and has proven that the biggest global challenges can be solved through community, collaboration, and a commitment to action. ⚖ The Rule of Law is vital to accelerate progress on some of the world’s intractable challenges. Protimos joined the CGI Annual Meeting for two inspiring days of partnership-building, problem-solving, and commitment-making to highlight the law as a powerful poverty reduction tool. 🗣 Freedom and good governance can only be as strong as the legal framework which sustains them. Protimos was proud to join leading and influential voices who are using their skills, experiences, and perspectives to help transform their communities.
