Established in 2001, the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) is a grantmaking foundation that supports local, national and Africa regional women’s organisations working towards the promotion and realisation of women’s rights and recognition of African women’s leadership in all spheres of life.
Through specialising in grant making and focused, tailored movement-building programmes, AWDF works to strengthen and support the work of African women’s organisations. By amplifying and celebrating African women’s voices and achievements, AWDF supports efforts that combat harmful stereotypes, and promote women as active agents of change.
