Graça Machel Trust (GMT) was established as a Pan-African advocacy organisation focused on women’s economic and financial empowerment, leadership and good governance. It acts as a catalyst, working across the continent to advocate for the protection of women’s rights and dignity, and also amplify women’s movements by harnessing and promoting their contributions to the economic, social and political development of Africa. The grant awarded will be used to increase women’s access to finance and financial services as consumers, entrepreneurs and investors and also strengthen their skills and capacity in that regard. The project will also conduct a survey and document best cases for learning.
