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.
