Despite the vast differences between Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), most share a common dilemma: Lack of funds, which limits the quantity and/ or quality of the important work they do. CSOs increasingly find that grants and donations are inadequate to meet their program needs, let alone to expand program activities. This, therefore, calls for better local resource mobilization to enable them to meet their diverse needs.
The East Africa Philanthropy Network (EAPN) seeks to enhance the knowledge base and promote best practices for organized philanthropy. This will be realized by investing in research and innovation, documentation, and dissemination, and offering capacity strengthening support to EAPN members and other philanthropy actors. EAPN recognizes the need for relevant data as a basis of effective monitoring, reporting, and coordinating philanthropy efforts in the ever-changing landscape of institutionalized philanthropy in East Africa.
