AFRICAN WOMEN’S DEVELOPMENT FUND (AWDF)

African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) is a grant-making foundation which supports local, national and regional organisations in Africa working towards women’s empowerment. AWDF through institutional capacity building and programme development seeks to build a culture of learning and partnerships within the African women’s movement.

The vision of AWDF is for African women to live in a world in which there is social justice, equality and respect for women’s human rights. To this end, our mission is to mobilise financial resources to support local, national and regional initiatives led by women, which will lead to the achievement of this vision. AWDF funds women’s groups across Africa working in the areas of Women’s Human Rights, Political Participation, Peace Building, Health and Reproductive Rights, HIV/AIDS and Economic Empowerment.

African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) est une fondation subventionnaire qui soutient les organisations locales, nationales et régionales d’Afrique œuvrant pour l’autonomisation des femmes. Par le biais du renforcement des capacités institutionnelles et du développement de programmes, l’AWDF cherche à instaurer une culture d’apprentissage et de partenariat au sein du mouvement des femmes africaines.

La vision de l’AWDF est que les femmes africaines vivent dans un monde où règnent la justice sociale, l’égalité et le respect des droits humains des femmes. À cette fin, notre mission est de mobiliser des ressources financières pour soutenir les initiatives locales, nationales et régionales menées par des femmes, qui conduiront à la réalisation de cette vision. AWDF finance des groupes de femmes à travers l’Afrique qui travaillent dans les domaines des droits humains des femmes, de la participation politique, de la consolidation de la paix, de la santé et des droits reproductifs, du VIH/SIDA et de l’autonomisation économique.
