African Reproductive Justice Litigation Fund

Description

1) Objective

Ahaki is launching the 2024-2025 call for proposals under the African Reproductive Justice Litigation Fund to contribute towards addressing the limited access to reproductive justice litigation resources experienced by numerous African organisations. This Fund acknowledges the challenges these organisations face due to the intricate grant systems in today’s philanthropic environment. The Fund aims to overcome some of the contextual barriers that hinder public interest-focused litigants in the field of reproductive justice.

Through this Fund, Ahaki will offer catalytic and adaptable sub-grants to bolster bold, inventive, and varied reproductive justice litigation projects at grassroots, national, and regional tiers. These grants will concentrate on strategic and public interest litigations, legal assistance, as well as research and documentation. Emphasis will be placed on indigenous African organizations in formulating and executing context-tailored litigation tactics. By backing these endeavors, Ahaki strives to cultivate a more unified and impactful movement for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and reproductive justice throughout Africa, addressing both legal transformation and broader societal influences on reproductive justice and health outcomes.
