\n\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The AWDF 2020 Annual Report is a recollection of a year that, like water, held everything that came before it\u2014the consequences of all it experienced, all the elements it contained. As told by African women, the report is a narrative of water remembering, water finding its way. A recollection of AWDF\u2019s exceptional contribution to women\u2019s rights in Africa, a celebration of the determination of the grantees, staff, the Board and our funders in an incredibly challenging year.<\/span><\/p>\n

We awarded 136 grants and a total of USD $8,902,980 to organisations in 32 countries which is a 88.9% increase in total grantmaking from 2019. In response to the emergency elements of the year, including COVID-19 and anti-violence campaigns led by women\u2019s rights organisations across the continent, AWDF gave a total of $122,000 in grants.<\/span><\/p>\n

Against the tide, our grantee partners created visibility and voiced women\u2019s rights issues, pushed and succeeded in putting laws in place that protect women, created understanding around harmful norms and policies, built women\u2019s political, financial, and advocacy skills, increased women\u2019s representation in political offices, improved women\u2019s access to and ownership of property, contributed to increased budget allocations to public services, and responded to the needs of their community in a time of COVID-19 and other crises.<\/span><\/p>\n
