\"AWDF-Co-Founders\"<\/a><\/p>\nIn the year 2000, three women, Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi, Joana Foster and Hilda Tadria created a philanthropic organisation focused on making measurable change in African women\u2019s lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by the aspirations of the African women\u2019s movement, the African Women\u2019s Development Fund<\/b> (AWDF) was created as an independent resource for gender equality and development across the continent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, the AWDF\u2019s grantmaking practices are built to support the initiatives of African women who may not have access to mainstream funding due to capacity, language, location, and marginalisation. In fact, the AWDF has served as a key donor to 60 percent of grantees who experience serious challenges to sustainable funding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past 15 years AWDF has worked to build relationships with, and mobilise resources for close to 1,200 women\u2019s organisations in 42 African countries across the continent.<\/span>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-100","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHistory -
