What you need to know about the call for applications
In this call for applications, AWDF will be awarding grants under the Leading from the South (LFS) Initiative. LFS grants are to support projects in Africa and Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Yemen. Under this call, we will be prioritising applications for work in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine or Yemen, the Horn of Africa, the Sahel Region, and French speaking Africa from women led organisations led by young women, LBTQI and non-binary people, women living with disabilities and other minoritised groups. The focus of the work in applications for LFS funding should be advocacy, though we will consider costs for service delivery if they represent less than 20% of your total application budget to AWDF.
