The Open Society Foundation in London focuses on projects concerning public health, civic empowerment, poverty, discrimination, as well as education about human rights, political and social sciences, and journalism.
Current initiatives and projects based in this office include AfriMAP, the East East Program, the Information Program, the Media Program, Scholarship Programs and the Publish What You Pay campaign. The foundation works closely with the British government and London-based NGOs, helps build donor partnerships, serves as a channel for information and contacts, develops coalitions with long-term partners, and raises awareness in U.K. policy circles about issues of concern to the foundation. In addition, the foundation supports initiatives and projects undertaken by other members of the OSI network that come within its sphere of operations and charitable goals.
