ActionAid UK

This grant to ActionAid U.K. will support the Bretton Woods Project to continue its work with influential civil society organizations and key officials within international financial institutions to ensure that the macroeconomic policies they promote contribute rather than undermine gender equality. This grant will support (a) the monitoring of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank’s activities; (b) the development of policy analysis and recommendations for change; and (c) advocacy strategies that target insider champions of institutional change focused on gender equality. The project will strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations who work on gender equality and economic justice to promote coordinated advocacy strategies.
