The KASA initiative led by African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) ,  in partnership  Ford Foundation West Africa  and Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) is an ambitious feminist programme working to address and reduce sexual violence, and its deep-rooted drivers, across West Africa in particular Ghana Nigeria and Senegal. The initiative, KASA! Ending Sexual Violence in West Africa, leveraged the growing focus on sexual violence in the region to  boost feminist action and advocacy to reduce it.

The Initiative supported 42 women’s rights and feminist organisations through grant-making, advocacy, and accompaniment, emphasising community-rooted interventions

and survivor-centred approaches.
