Open Society Initiative for Eastern Africa

The Open Society Initiative for Eastern Africa (OSIEA) plays a significant role not only in terms of grantmaking but also working towards advocacy by supporting pro-democracy organizations and individuals in the region and strengthening their capacity to hold their governments accountable. This includes efforts to defend and support rights activists and pro-democracy advocates who come under attack for their work.

OSIEA is both an implementing organization as well as a donor agency and also raises its voice to discuss politically sensitive issues.

It supports initiatives with a demonstrated capacity to positively transform society in innovative ways that embrace inclusiveness and diversity.

OSIEA supports projects in the following programmatic areas:

    Media and Access to Information
    Governance and Accountability
    Health and Rights
