DESCRIPTION:At the beginning of the twenty-first century the flow of donat
 ions from philanthropists to developing countries was so small it did not 
 warrant a separate entry in the statistics of the Organization for Economi
 c Co-operation and Development (OECD). By 2011 philanthropy had made its w
 ay into the official OECD figures as a separate item.\n\nThe total volume 
 of philanthropic funding for development was $24 billion in 2013–2015. P
 hilanthropy is now the third biggest provider of health funding in develop
 ing countries. And philanthropists have proved a good deal more prescient 
 and agile in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic than have many government
 s.\n\nBut is philanthropy good for international development? Paul Vallely
 \, author of the highly-acclaimed Philanthropy – from Aristotle to Zucke
 rberg\, introduces his new book followed by a discussion with Kevin Watkin
 s\, Chief Executive of Save the Children UK\, and Professor Ngaire Woods\,
  Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government\, University of Oxford.\n\n-\n
