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. rgent 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. 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.

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
