Have you ever read a book dedicated to CSR only?

To the headline question above, the answer is: I doubt!

When was the last time you picked up a book that completely changed the way you think about Corporate Social Responsibility? Eche Munonye’s “From Philanthropy to CSR: The Evolution of Corporate Responsibility in Nigeria” is more than a book—it’s the catalyst for a movement redefining CSR for corporates.

For years, the CSR narrative in Nigeria, and across much of Africa, has been shaped by foreign frameworks and imported ideas. But here’s the game-changer: Munonye’s book is the first indigenous CSR guide, designed specifically for African realities. This isn’t just history in the made—it’s a resource tailor-made for African businesses, addressing unique challenges, opportunities, and cultural contexts.

The book asks bold questions: How do we make CSR more than a buzzword? How can businesses balance profit with societal purpose? How do we ensure CSR initiatives don’t just scratch the surface but deliver lasting impact? And then it answers them with clarity, depth, and insight.

Packed with real-life examples from Nigeria’s corporate landscape, “From Philanthropy to CSR” highlights what’s working, what isn’t, and what the future demands. You’ll read about companies that turned local partnerships into transformative change, and you’ll learn why some well-funded CSR projects failed to move the needle.

But this isn’t just a book for CSR professionals. It’s a must-read for business leaders, policymakers, academics, and anyone invested in Africa’s growth story. Whether you’re leading a multinational corporation, running a start-up, or driving government policy, this book offers the strategies and tools to align your goals with meaningful impact.

Here’s the reality: CSR in Africa is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Communities are demanding more, stakeholders are watching closer, and businesses that ignore this shift risk being left behind.

So, here’s your chance to stay ahead of the curve. From Philanthropy to CSR is not just a guide—it’s a movement in book form, written for Africa, by Africa.

Don’t just read about CSR—be a part of its evolution.
