Over the last two decades, the philanthropic sector has grown in terms of
the number of foundations, the size of their annual giving, and the scope
of their activities. Spending concentrates on certain selected areas,
especially health, education, and nutrition. Civil society organizations,
scientists, and the media have finally started to devote more attention and
research to the growing influence of philanthropic foundations in global
development, in particular with regard to the influential members of
philanthrocapitalism. Through their grant-making, personal networking and
active advocacy, large global foundations play an overwhelmingly active
role in shaping the global development agenda and in setting the funding
priorities for international institutions and national governments alike. A
new discussion paper by Nicoletta Dentico and Karolin Seitz presents major
areas of concern in particular with regard to the arena of global health
and nutrition and formulates recommendations to political decision-makers.
