Description
1) Objective
The Urgent Action Fund-Africa (UAF-Africa) promotes the leadership of women and women’s human rights defenders through catalysing initiatives that improve and sustain women’s lives in Africa. Urgent Action Fund-Africa (UAF-Africa) is a pan-African and feminist Fund, established in 2001 in Nairobi, Kenya. Using a rapid response grant making (RRG) model, the Fund supports unanticipated, time-sensitive, innovative, and bold initiatives. They offer Protection Grants, Rapid Response Grants and Advocacy and Alliance Building Grants.
The financial and technical resources the Fund provides enable African feminists and women’s rights organisations to seize windows of opportunity, fracture patriarchy, amplify their voices, enhance their visibility, and become significant actors who can influence policy and law while shaping discourse. This way, UAF-Africa fills a unique grant making niche within the African feminist movement, providing stepping stones to activists as they use their agency and resilience to achieve social, economic, political and environmental justice.
2) Eligibility
Non-profit organisations are eligible to apply.
3) Location
UAF-Africa operates as a virtual organisation with an imprint across four African sub-regions.
4) Budget
