Its historic term as the first African presidency in 2025 ended on a mixed note: despite a successful summit, tensions with the U.S. and fears of retreat from Global South priorities left a mark.

India’s Eurasian shift will play itself out in the upcoming BRICS Summit. This is in contrast to just four years ago, when India cultivated the West, especially the U.S., in the aftermath of the 2020 Galwan clashes.

Donors, too, often expect to meet the most senior person in the room, making fundraising feel like a responsibility that only a select few can hold. Yet fundraising is about much more than simply raising resources. It is ab
