Our focuses are on- Traditional grant making and resource mobilisation through philanthropic and corporate social responsibility resourcing
- New impact investments that encourage new models for business engagement in women's and children's health.
By leading private sector engagement with the EWEC Africa Task Force we hope to generate new commitments from businesses to fund grant making (led by WBF) and corporate impact investment (led by TEF). The EWEC partnership empowers communities, enabling them to find sustainable solutions for the problems facing maternal and child health in Africa.
