This convening culminated from AWDF\u2019s fourth strategic plan\u00a0<em>Shaping the Future<\/em>, and the accompanying\u00a0<em>Futures Trends Analysis Report\u00a0<\/em>which highlighted the socio-economic implications of anticipated trends in Africa for women and girls. Over three (3) consecutive days, we had extensive conversations, workshop and group activities that helped us build sound advocacy strategies for African women\u2019s economic futures. As an institution committed to resourcing African women\u2019s movements, AWDF believes that this convening was the first step in a journey to better support future-oriented strategies to engender African women\u2019s economic justice and security.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bread and Butter\u00a0<\/em>is the post-convening knowledge series which aims to document the dynamic, critical and radical perspectives of African women thinking about their economic futures. The expression \u201cbread and butter\u201d refers both to the ways in which individuals come to sustain themselves usually through paid work<em>\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0individuals\u2019 practical, every day needs and concerns.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We begin our Bread and Butter series with a statement from participants of the convening, outlining our priorities and recommendations for securing African women\u2019s economic futures.<br \/>\n<\/span>The statement was drafted during the convening and finalized a few weeks after by the Drafting Group. Each participant contributed their own expertise to produce a\u00a0holistic approach to the issues and concerns presented. While the statement attempts to provide a comprehensive analysis and list of recommendations, we encourage other African feminists to expand and operationalize this statement, with proper citation of the original statement. We hope that you find the statement useful to your own strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Please click <a href=\"http:\/\/africlub.net\/awdf\/wp-content\/uploads\/AWEF-Statement-FINAL.pdf\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a> to read the statement<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; On\u00a0 September 13th\u00a0\u2013 15th, 2018, AWDF convened 27 activists, academics, development workers and knowledge producers to strategise and prioritise African women\u2019s economic futures.
