EAP's Programme
Working with key stakeholders
We have identified three key areas where our programme is focused to achieve our organisational mission: infrastructure, the extractive industries (oil, gas & mining) and engineering education.
Please following the links below to our programme pages:
Individual projects within these areas are undertaken in collaboration with strategic partners. This approach enables us to mobilise additional knowledge and expertise and make the most efficient use of the resources at our disposal. Our programme is built on two propositions:
- Whilst aid and debt relief are important, they are unlikely to offer sustainable solutions to poverty in the long-term unless they are mobilised to accelerate pro-poor economic growth, promote enterprise development and create millions of decent jobs.
- Effective mobilisation of the private sector represents one of the single greatest opportunities to step-up the fight against poverty. Achieving this requires the alignment of the commercial interests of companies with the development priorities of poor people to deliver outcomes that are better for society and better for business.
