About AWDF
Le Fonds Africain pour le Developpement de la Femme (Rapport Annuel ) is the first African-wide grant-making foundation which was established to provide grants, capacity building and technical assistance to African women’s organisations. The vision of AWDF is for African women to live in a world in which there is social justice, égalité et respect des droits humains des femmes.
À cette fin, our mission is to mobilise financial resources to support local, national and regional initiatives led by women, which will lead to the achievement of this vision. AWDF raises money and makes grants for the support of non-profit African women’s organisations working for social justice, égalité, respect and peace.
Background to the project
En 2016, AWDF developed a new strategic plan directing the organisation’s focus, strategies and program activities over the next four years from 2017 – 2020. As part of the strategic plan process, AWDF conceptualised a scenarios project in order to have a conversation about how the future of women’s rights in Africa might evolve over time. This report, donc, highlights the process of the scenarios building exercise, examines the trends, issues and opportunities available and describes the different futures that could occur in Africa regarding women’s rights and empowerment. The scenarios point out critical issues to look out for in the sector. Scenarios are stories describing alternative futures and how they might come about. Scenarios also act as signals to watch out for in the future.
The scenarios, donc, responded to the question:
What is the future of women’s organising in response to these trends by 2030 and what is AWDF’s role in this context?
