Conversations on African Philanthropy
In Conversation with Brenda Mofya | Adɔyɛ Series #3
Brenda Mofya is the Head of New York office with Oxfam International. She is an international development practitioner, with a background in advocating for gender justice, climate change policies, and civic space representation, particularly reflecting the voices of the Global South.
In her conversation with Prof. Moyo, Brenda reflects on her experiences gained from her career in advocacy and development. Their talking points include;
- The importance of bringing the experiences and perspectives of affected communities into UN discussions and decision-making processes.
- The disparate dominance of Global North agendas in UN discussions, which often marginalizes the voices and issues relevant to the Global South.
- The importance of ongoing engagement and accountability between African leaders and their citizens to foster meaningful change.
- The significance of documenting and sharing the stories of African women, as their experiences are pivotal for collective understanding and empowerment.
