impact driven philanthropy Simplified: kansmus@gmail.com There are various types of philanthropy. This paper though will explain the impact driven philanthropy, its definition and its principles.

Impact‐driven philanthropy is the practice of investing our time, interests, talents, and resources thoughtfully and intentionally to advance meaningful change. It is one intended to leverage our potentials and result into potential impact on society. This drive for impact can be invested in any field be it education, medical care among others. However, impact driven philanthropy is further driven by unique principles. As we rhyme with the principles and practices below, we make it possible to lean into harder issues and find solutions that make a lasting difference. There ar...

FAILURE IN ACCOUNTABILITY IS A FAILURE OF GOVERNANCE kansmus@gmail.com T here are four pillars of good governance that build, restore, and main public trust which are Transparency, accessibility, responsiveness and accountability. Accountability is a dear issue and is in consonance with the pro national reconstruction philosophy crusade and institutional rearticulation. Devoid of the norm of accountability, African states are still haggling with self created dilemma of failure to smelt a strong iron of elements to decolonise Africa from the horrors of colonialism and the nightmares of neocolonialism. Accountability circumscribes the Democratic values with a function of ingenuity and a normative governance framework that my wananchi granny from the hills of mombokolo will proudly call "good". After independence, and in tandem the Democratic consolidation of uprooting autocratic reigns, accountability could be a switch to the "Africa's third liberation...

21 st CENTURY APPROACH TO TAXATION IN DIGITAL ECONOMIES kansmus@gmail.com First and foremost, digitalisation in the wave of the digital economy is good and all nations should embrace it. Due to traditional preoccupations that tainted the continental scape, Africa didn’t transform thoroughly through the first to the third industrial revolutions. However, the rise of modernization and its tenet of a single equal pace to globalization has facilitated the continent’s aspirations to catch up with the opportunities and challenges of this fourth industrial revolution that include taxation. The main features of digitalized economies include: multinational companies whose activities are not easy to localize or track and tag taxes levied on them to a specific economy or distribute the total fiscal contribution amongst countries of operation. The second feature is that firms dominating the digital economy are quite often platforms that direct interaction between the buyer and selle...

OBSERVE REFUGEES RIGHTS: RELIEVE THEM OF PLIGHT. kansmus@gmail.com Human rights are moral principles for everyone, are protected by natural and legal rights in municipal and international law and describe certain behavioral standards. The world must be heedful to and cognizant of the fact that the refugees' prime desire is to witness the end of anarchy, the terminus of human rights violations and to see the Genesis of reparations in their home countries. That noted, it is wise to affirm in consonance that the refugee crisis calls for urgent response to refugees' lives and rights before pacifism, is reinstated home. Over centuries, from Hammurabi era to Socrates doctrines to the Justinian revolution to the 1215 magna Carta to the shackles of slavery and anti-slavery crusades and to other erstwhile human rights revolutions, it is evident that the rights of the refugee have not been vividly addressed even by the original authors of human rights. Profound, though ...

A YOUTHFUL DIGITAL AFRICA: A Continent that will compete in the fourth industrial revolution.  kansmus@gmail.com In the light of the nude truth of the metamorphosing dynamics of the global economy and the impending era of the fourth industrial revolution engulfing the world, Africa has to cope with the transformation by adapting to a high-end speed to gain the years she is lagging behind the rest of the economies and clear her digital arrears. Hibernating and adapting to a supersonic economic atmosphere beyond the usual customary suspects is a requisite, and above all is possible amidst the abundant endowment of natural resource, biosphere, ecosphere and copiousness of human resource that hedges on the pillar of the youthful demographic dividend. The rest of the world including multinational companies have adopted digital technology, accrued and augmented supernormal profits, evaded taxes and practiced Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) causing exploitation and i...
