“From Philanthropy to CSR”: Why Every CSR Practitioner Needs This Book

It’s REAL: A new voice has emerged, overhauling how we think, act, and engage with CSR in not just Nigeria but the entire African continent.

That voice is Mr. Eche Munonye, and his groundbreaking book, “From Philanthropy to CSR: The Evolution of Corporate Responsibility in Nigeria!”  What more can we say? This CSR-centric book is fast becoming the definitive guide for CSR practitioners across the continent.

Like we like to put it: This isn’t just a book—it’s a movement. A manifesto for those ready to push beyond outdated models of charity and embrace a future where CSR isn’t a side project, but a core part of every business strategy, corporations could ever muster.

 For decades, CSR in Nigeria often meant generous donations and philanthropic gestures—valuable but limited in scope. Munonye’s book tells the story of how Nigerian companies have evolved from these early acts of goodwill into fully-fledged CSR powerhouses, adopting strategic frameworks that not only address social issues but also drive business success.

His narrative captures real-life examples of businesses aligning their CSR strategies with both local needs and global standards, proving that Africa can lead the charge in redefining what it means to be a responsible corporate citizen.

So? Munonye’s book is more than a read. It is a CSR blueprint!

Every chapter of “From Philanthropy to CSR” offers actionable insights. From the practical challenges of implementing CSR in resource-limited environments to the successes of companies that made CSR their competitive edge, Munonye delivers a comprehensive blueprint for building sustainable, impactful CSR programs.

This book is not just about learning—it’s about transforming how businesses engage with their communities, protect the environment, and create long-lasting value for society.

Nowadays, CSR has continued to evolve, meaning this book is your compass. The book bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering a localized perspective that resonates with African realities while meeting global expectations. Whether you’re a CSR veteran or new to the field, Munonye’s insights will challenge you to rethink everything you know about corporate responsibility.
