Echo Network Africa Foundation (ENAF) is a Pan African philanthropic institution that works with like-minded stakeholders to empower, position and advocate for girls and women in Africa. Founded in 1982 as Kenya Women Holdings (KWH) and later re-branded in 2018 to Echo Network Africa (ENA), the vision of ENAF is an inclusive society where girls and women enjoy full rights and participate in the life of the society. ENAF intentionally focuses interventions on girls and women with special attention to young women, women with disabilities and women from marginalized communities.

In its 2023-2027 Strategic Plan, ENAF articulates a retention, growth and expansion strategy aimed at replicating and scaling program initiatives from Kenya to other countries in Africa. In addition to the decision made by the Board of Directors in 2024 to re-brand ENA to ENAF, the first Country Office was incorporated in Kenya taking over implementation of program initiatives formally undertaken by ENAF. ENAF, known simply as The Foundation, is therefore solely responsible for resource mobilization and management as well as Coordination of Country Offices and Associates while Country Offices including the Kenya Country Office are responsible for program Implementation. ENAF has retained the catalysing approach whose core is to work with Local Implementing Partners (LIPs) to maximize on impact and accelerate attainment of results.

Current programme and anchor initiatives include Community Resilience and Livelihoods; Women’s Leadership, Political Participation and Governance; Peace and Conflict Resolution; Women’s Financial Inclusion and Girls Excel. ENA Kenya is supported by the following Anchor Centers: Talent Development Management and Administration; Communication and Public Relations; Information, Communication, and Technology; Special Projects; Legal; Internal Audit; Risk & Compliance; and Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation.
