This report, developed by Sattva and funded by WINGS’ #LiftUpPhilanthropy Fund, maps the philanthropy support ecosystems (PSEs), with a particular focus on multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs), in seven South and Southeast Asian countries—India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It aims to break silos, bridge knowledge gaps in the philanthropic ecosystem, and foster multi-stakeholder collaboration to address urgent development issues and drive meaningful change. With a particular focus on India and Indonesia, the study evaluates the current state of PSEs through the lens of the 4Cs—Capacity, Capability, Connection, Credibility—and 1D—Diversity. It deep-dives into the landscape of MSPs and the role of philanthropy support organisations (PSOs) in enabling them.
It includes country-specific analyses, best practices for enabling MSPs, and actionable recommendations for ecosystem actors working to drive more effective and collaborative development outcomes across the region.
The report was launched alongside a regional convening that brought together key stakeholders to disseminate findings, situate the state of philanthropic support ecosystems (PSEs) in South and Southeast Asia, and explore enabling conditions for multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs).
Panelists—Gusman Yahya (Executive Director, Filantropi Indonesia), Jehan Omar (Senior Manager, AVPN), and Maria Bystedt (Program Director, H&M Foundation)—shared practical insights on how multi-stakeholder partnerships are being shaped and sustained in different contexts.
