This organizational effectiveness grant will support ICRW Africa (International Center for Research on Women Africa) to develop and implement a regional communications strategy. Specifically, the funding will allow ICRW Africa to conduct a needs assessment of the evidence priorities of its diverse partners and ensure that its research products are responsive and tailored. Also, sharpening its strategic communications is a critical investment as ICRW Africa seeks to support policymakers and advocates with quality evidence to counter disinformation campaigns by anti-gender and anti-SRHR actors who seek to manipulate public discourse and halt the formulation and implementation of rights-based policies.
