FEMNET

The African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) is a Pan-African feminist membership network established in 1988 that seeks to inform and mobilize women and girls to participate and influence policies and processes that affect their lives. This grant will support FEMNET to strengthen the capacities of women’s rights activists in Africa to use a feminist analysis to challenge current economic models; develop gendered data and evidence on the impact of macro level economic models on women’s rights; bring an African feminist economic perspective to mainstream economics decision making fora; and build and strengthen a network of feminist activists and economists.

The African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET) is a pan-African feminist network at the forefront of informing and mobilizing African women to participate in and influence policies and processes affecting their lives. This grant will support FEMNET to influence macro-level economic policymaking to be gender-transformative for fair generation and equitable distribution of resources in Africa.
