Overview
This project grant will enable the International Women's Health Coalition (IWHC) to hire a senior staff person to follow the process that will determine the post-2015 development framework. IWHC will identify opportunities to effect the discussions, advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights directly and in coalition with other advocates, and mobilize broader civil society pressure to be brought to bear on governments and UN actors as needed. Another key strategy will be to build alliances with other constituencies, such as groups working on the environment, education and security. The new development framework will likely have tremendous impact on the choices made by governments as they decide which areas of development to prioritize and fund beyond 2015. As a leading sexual and reproductive health organization with extensive experience in UN advocacy, IWHC is well placed to help ensure that sexual and reproductive health and rights are key components in the new development framework.

Grants to this Grantee
for the continued support of diversity, equity, and inclusion work
This grant will support the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC) to institutionalize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a core value in its organizational culture and external advocacy, grantmaking, and movement building. IWHC has centered DEI in its new strategic plan goals. With this grant, IWHC will embark on a second phase of DEI work, which includes establishing a shared language and rationale for DEI within the organization, creating an action plan to operationalize DEI; and designing a learning journey to build the DEI capacity of its staff and board members.
