Overview
As a pan-African feminist funder, the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) plays a critical and unique role within African feminist movements to fund, strengthen, and elevate groups led by African feminists, women, girls, and gender-diverse people working toward gender justice and social transformation. Through a deepened movement-building and intersectional approach, AWDF has evolved who and how it resources, supports, and nurtures African feminist movements with an expansion of core funding and responsive accompaniment. AWDF will continue implementing priorities under its new strategic framework and strengthen the learning partnership between AWDF and the foundation’s Gender Equity and Governance Program.
