Description
1) Objective
UHAI EASHRI – The East African Sexual Health and Rights Initiative, was established in 2009 as Africa’s first indigenous activist fund for sex workers and sexual and gender minorities. The Initiative has become an African activist voice in resourcing the struggle for equality, justice and dignity for Africa’s sex workers and sexual and gender minorities. It supports civil societies organising for sex workers and sexual and gender minorities with: flexible and accessible grants; capacity support; support for Pan-African organising and advocacy, including support for activist-determined convening; and knowledge building and documentation. UHAI is the largest funder of Eastern Africa’s civil society organising for sex workers and sexual and gender minorities. UHAI is the first funder of a majority of activist organising in Eastern Africa.
Three types of grants are open all year for application:
- MSINGI GRANTS: These are 1-year General Support grants with a funding ceiling of USD 7,500. Traditionally, Msingi grants have been awarded to organisations that have not received a grant from UHAI EASHRI before, but existing grantees of UHAI EASHRI are welcome to apply to this category as well.
- TUJENGE GRANTS: These are also 1-year General Support grants with a funding ceiling of USD 20,000. In the past, Tujenge were used to contribute to ongoing programmes, and/or cover the core support costs of developing organisations.
Organisations that qualify under Tujenge grants: Have a good track record of utilising awarded funds on schedule and submit their grant reports in good time. - IMARISHA GRANTS: These are 2-year core operating support grants of up to USD 60,000 allocated at a maximum of USD 30,000 per year. Imarisha grants are geared towards consolidating and sustaining organisations that have long-term and large scale strategies.
