We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

• Cote d'Ivoire Programs: Resilience for Peace (R4P) -CI07The R4P program demonstrated success in strengthening community resilience against violent extremism (VE) in northern Cte d'Ivoire in 2024. Through innovative approaches and evidence-based programming, R4P effectively addressed key drivers of fragility while building sustainable mechanisms for peace and stability in one of West Africa's most strategic border regions. According to an external evaluation conducted in August 2024, "R4P's approach contributed to mitigating key drivers of VE through action-oriented research that facilitated understanding of VE dynamics in the northern border regions and informed Government of Cte d'Ivoire responses to VE. The program's achievements were particularly notable in three core areas: improving governance and state-citizen relations, strengthening natural resource management and conflict resolution, and developing a robust community media ecosystem that effectively countered extremist narratives.Innovative Collaboration for Enhancing Civil Military Engagement in Northern Cte d'Ivoire (ICE) - CI09In 2024, EAI implemented the Dutch-funded ICE project to expand work with the CCMs (Civil-Military Committees / Cellules Civilo-Militaires) in northern Cte d'Ivoire. Through ICE, the Resilience for Peace team facilitated high-level participation of Security and Defense Forces in program events, fostering positive perceptions of local resilience initiatives. The project is implemented in partnership with Indigo Cote d'Ivoire and Elva Community Engagement. Promoting an Inclusive West Africa (PIWA) CI10PIWA launched in late September 2024 seeking to address the challenges faced by the Fulbe community, a marginalized group in Coastal West Africa. Through comprehensive approaches, the project laid the groundwork to build the Fulbe community's capacity and promote their inclusion and equitable participation in decision-making processes in Cote d'Ivoire. By empowering Fulbe leaders and fostering collaboration with government leaders and diverse ethnic groups, PIWA will promote social cohesion and reduce marginalization.Fortuna Mining Corps Sustainability National Partnership Program CI11 In 2024, EAI implemented a project with FMC's Sustainability National Partnership Program in Cote d'Ivoire that included the following activities: research activity regarding citizen usage of community health centers, expanding support for gardening activities for women and young people, supporting the marketing and production of honey and poultry to diversify income streams, and support for literacy centers.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
