By specialising in grant-making and focused, tailored movement-building programmes, they work to strengthen and support the work of African women’s organisations.
“Siza” is a Zulu word that means assistance or help, and creates a sense of community and collective care. This crisis response grant provides flexible funding to small grassroots and unregistered groups in building sustainable solutions in crisis and conflict areas. They refer to conflict areas not only as those experiencing civil war but forgotten conflict areas, and areas that aren’t considered as being in conflict but are experienced as such by women, girls and gender-diverse persons there. It will support responses before, during and after crises.
2) Eligibility
Nascent or small grassroots organisations and networks and unregistered groups and networks led by African women, girls and gender-diverse persons in countries and communities experiencing conflict. Priority will be given to organisations and unregistered groups that focus on women’s health, femicide, domestic violence, sexual violence and other forms of violence against women, and women, peace and security.
