About the EAP
Engineers Against Poverty is an independent, lean organization that bridges the divide between research, policy and practice. EAP works across different programmes that are different in nature. EAP maximizes our impact by collaborating with strategic partners.
Vision
EAP’s vision is that all people have access to adequate, affordable and resilient infrastructure enabling a world free of poverty.
Mission
EAP’s mission is to promote infrastructure policy and practice with sustainable social, economic and environmental impacts that contribute towards the elimination of poverty.
Beliefs
Around the world there is a greater appetite for infrastructure investment and delivery to meet global challenges. While this is a welcome development, EAP believes that infrastructure of the 21st century must foster inclusive growth and social equity by being affordable, accessible and resilient. It must provide value for money but also value for many.
Values
Values reflect EAP’s role and belief in improving infrastructure outcomes for the many:
Social Equity–EAP believes that poor people should benefit more from infrastructure investment. They need decent jobs, better working conditions, opportunities to influence public policy and access to good quality and affordable services.
Integrity–EAP is an independent organization that behaves openly, honestly and consistently, promoting and upholding the highest ethical and professional standards.
Collaboration–EAP builds strategic partnerships to share knowledge, maximize impact and encourage and build collective action approaches to identify common solutions.
Accountability–EAP is open, transparent and accountable to EAP’s stakeholders and beneficiaries. EAP identifies issues and mechanisms that allow stakeholders to hold decision-makers to account.
