Overview
This grant is to the Tax Justice Network Africa as the fiscal sponsor for Nawi – Afrifem Macroeconomics Collective (Nawi Collective). The Tax Justice Network Africa is a growing regional network of 44 civil society organizations including think tanks; trade unions; feminists; and youth-led, faith-based, and community-based organizations spread across 25 African countries to promote socially just tax policies. The Nawi Collective is a pan-African feminist initiative launched in 2020, focused on building a community of African feminist and women’s rights organizations working on influencing, analyzing, deconstructing, and reconstructing macroeconomic policies, narratives, and understanding through an intersectional pan-African feminist lens. This grant will supplement the main grant supporting the development of the Nawi Collective, by providing increased resources to strategically influence policy spaces, build a body of knowledge, and curate spaces for reflection and learning.

for support of the Development Transformations program
Development Transformations (DevTransform) is a mission-driven, Africa-based, and African-led development organization hosted by the Tax Justice Network Africa. It seeks to transform development practices through the use of data, evidence, analysis, and thought leadership. This grant will support DevTransform’s efforts to establish data storytelling labs in Kenya and Uganda that will equip different communities with the skills, strategies, and technical know-how to tell their stories in a more powerful data-centric way, giving a voice to communities and vulnerable and marginalized groups that have been left behind.

for support of Nawi’s thinking hub on social reproduction and care economies in Africa
Nawi – Afrifem Macroeconomics Collective and the Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR) are co-creating a thinking hub to develop an African feminist theory and narrative of the care economy. The knowledge produced through the hub will contribute to broader decolonized theorizations on social reproduction from an African and Global South vantage point. This grant to Tax Justice Network Africa, which serves as the fiscal host for Nawi, will establish the thinking hub and enable Nawi and MISR to invest in institutional strengthening.
