Report from the CEO 2022 was an extraordinary year for Big Win Philanthropy. We started new partnerships with the governments of Cote d'lvoire. Rwanda, and Lagos State in Nigeria, and continued to grow our portfolio and our team. Our programmes are described in detail in the annual report, but a few highlights of the year include: In January 2023. a great deal of effort culrninated in the su¢¢essful18unch of AMALI, a city leadership programme for mayors hosted by the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town. Fifteen mayors from major cities across the continent spent four days honing their transforrnational action plan5 for their cities. returning htsme determined to lace their biggest ehallenges and opportunitses wth a heightened sirategic outlook. The Fuiure Hope of Addis Ababa Early Childhood Development Program had its watershed rnornent in 2022. amKlst huge momenturn and broad and steadfo$t polits¢Jl support.
