Background
The African Women’s Development Fund is a leading feminist grantmaking foundation supporting African women’s rights organisations and movements across Africa and 5 countries in the Middle East, through grant making, institutional capacity building, advocacy and knowledge generation aimed at advancing social justice and gender equality. AWDF is headquartered in Accra, Ghana.
As part of AWDF’s mandate and grant making processes, the fund periodically puts out calls for project proposals from women’s rights organisations. These calls usually have a timeframe within which applicants are expected to send in their applications to be considered for a grant in response to that particular call. AWDF therefore tends to receive a high volume of applications during such periods.
In August 2018, AWDF is expecting to receive a high volume of applications in response to three current calls for proposals.
AWDF is therefore looking for a short-term Grants Administration support person to assist in the downloading and initial screening of the applications that are expected. This is the first phase of the grants screening process.
