EPIC-Africa seeks to enhance philanthropic impact by filling critical data and capacity gaps in the philanthropic market infrastructure in Africa. We help to propel African civil society organizations to higher standards of performance, accountability, and transparency while engendering greater local legitimacy and support. We make grant-making in Africa more effective. We work with local and foreign grant-makers as well as African civil society organizations to design optimal projects and strengthen existing systems and processes. This directly builds grantee's capacity and increases their organizational impact.
