AEGN

Supporting philanthropy

The operating environment for charitable organisations and the donors who support them has a huge impact on their capacity to deliver outcomes. Work is needed to ensure that eNGOs have adequate resources, and that the resources they do have are directed to substantive work rather than administrative tasks, fundraising and reporting.
