Overview
The Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ) seeks to advance economic justice by collaborating in the provision of rigorous, accessible research and policy alternatives that empower progressive social actors to create systemic change across Africa. To achieve this mission, IEJ applies a feminist and intersectional analytical lens across its programmatic and organizational work. Over the next few years, IEJ aims to strengthen African feminist economic research and policy networks by bolstering feminist economic analysis, teaching, and policies, as well as the structural positions of feminist scholars and policy influencers. This flexible program grant will enable IEJ to deepen these focal areas. (Strategy: International Women's Economic Empowerment)

for general operating support
As an African activist economic think tank, the Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ) generates rigorous economic analysis, equips progressive policymakers and civil society with contextually relevant policy solutions, and provides training on African feminist economics. Over the next few years, IEJ aims to strengthen its capacity to influence feminist economics thinking across the research, advocacy, and policy spaces in Africa, focusing on macroeconomic policy and social protection, precarious work, and the implications of COVID-19 on care work. IEJ works to deepen these focal areas, including sustained, meaningful engagement with policy actors, and enhance its institutional capacity. (Strategy: International Women’s Economic Empowerment)
