Equal Access International

Equal Access International is a global not-for-profit organization (501(c)(3)), headquartered in Washington, D.C. and working in Africa and Asia. A communications for social change organization that combines the power of media with community mobilization, EAI creates customized communications strategies and outreach solutions that address the most critical challenges affecting people in the developing world such as women’s & girls’ empowerment, youth life skills & livelihoods, human rights, health, countering violent extremism, and civic participation & governance.

At EAI, we take an integrated approach to impact. We know that transforming violent extremism cannot occur without strengthening community resilience and engaging all members of society. We know that barriers to girls' education will not be fully removed until we address gender norms. We know that youth marginalization cannot be curbed without job creation and access to leadership roles. We know that a strong democracy is founded on the pillars of social equity and justice, which require engaged civic leaders and responsive, accountable governments. We know that stories and narratives that envision a world of equality and address community issues ignite change.

By addressing challenges in these key impact areas, we co-create exponential impact and support locally-driven, lasting change with our community partners and donors.
