Grant Opportunities for African Women's Associations

Dear Equator Net members,

The following information should be interesting for the African Women's Associations that are part of our network.

The African Women's Development Fund (AWDF) provides grants to organizations in Africa working towards women's empowerment. The AWDF is an institutional capacity-building and programme development fund, which aims to help build a culture of learning and partnerships within the African women's movement. In addition to awarding grants, the AWDF attempts to strengthen the organizational capacities of its grantees.

The AWDF funds work in six thematic areas:

§ Women's Human Rights

§ Political Participation

§ Peace Building

§ Health, Reproductive Rights

§ Economic Empowerment.

§ HIV/AIDS

To find additional information on the AWDF grants programme and application guidelines, please visit the following website:
