As private giving from countries around the world is on the
rise, Assad Abdullatiff, Managing Director of Axis Fiduciary Ltd,
sees opportunities for Mauritius to become a jurisdiction of choice
for the structuring and professional management of charitable and
philanthropic activities aimed at Africa.
Private giving from all countries around the world is on the
rise and this has created a new space for a whole range of
professional services around charity and philanthropy. Mauritius
offers not only the right legal vehicles to accommodate
philanthropic ventures but also a number of other advantages
through its conducive business ecosystem. It also has a clearly
articulated Africa strategy with strong historical, cultural and
geographical links with Africa. There is therefore no reason why
Mauritius cannot become a jurisdiction of choice for the
structuring and professional management of charitable and
philanthropy activities aimed at Africa.
