African Capacity Building Foundation signs second phase grant with the African Women\u2019s Development Fund to upscale women\u2019s participation in policy development and implementation on the continent<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Accra, 23 February 2012 (ACBF) – <\/strong>The African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) today signed a US$ 2.73 million grant with the African Women\u2019s Development Fund (AWDF) in Accra.\u00a0 The second phase funding will promote the economic empowerment and political participation of women in Africa, by strengthening AWDF\u2019s institutional and human capacity and increasing the institutional capacity of African Women Organizations to engage effectively on issues of women\u2019s human rights and development in Africa.\u00a0\u00a0 This follows a successful first phase of US$1 million, which ended in December 2011.<\/p>\n

Women and girls constitute over 51% of Africa\u2019s 850 million people.\u00a0 In Sub-Saharan Africa over 70% of the poor are women currently living below the World Bank\u2019s poverty headcount ratio of US$2 per day. According to the 2010 UN progress report on the achievement of the MDGs, although, gender parity has been achieved or is close to being achieved at primary school level in over two-thirds of African countries, Africa has the lowest female literacy rate in the world. Much remains to be done at secondary and tertiary levels. Maternal mortality also remains higher in sub-Saharan Africa than in any other region, and the HIV\/AIDS pandemic continues to affect more women than men in most African countries, with women accounting for 60% of new infections.\u00a0 Women also have a harder time finding jobs in environments where there are few opportunities due to job rationing with preference going to men.<\/p>\n

Against this challenging background some progress has been made regarding the development of women\u2019s organizations working to promote gender equality and women\u2019s rights in various parts of Africa. These organizations are considered as key drivers in efforts to attain gender equality and end discriminatory and exclusionary practices against women.<\/p>\n

Capacity for women\u2019s organisations to deliver on all fronts remains thin and further investment is needed in order to realize women\u2019s human rights and development.\u00a0 Several constraints remain for these organisations, including poor ability to build their own dynamic capacity and ensure they are sustainable in the long term. Other challenges include unstable financing, the constant need to build strategic movement, and the need for conceptual clarity, as well as addressing ideological differences and poor employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Grant signing ceremony, ACBF Executive Secretary, Dr. Frannie L\u00e9autier highlighted that ACBF recognizes the importance of equal participation of both women and men in the development and implementation of policies, and the continuous need for capacity development in this area. She said: \u201cIt has become evident over time that where women have access to education, economic assets or live free of conflict there is a reduction in poverty levels.\u00a0 At ACBF, we have embarked on our third strategic medium term plan. The strength of this plan lies in the Foundation\u2019s ability to strengthen partnerships with institutions such as the AWDF, where work on gender and women is continentally focussed.\u00a0 This allows the Foundation to have a wider reach, and to also make a larger contribution to the capacity strengthening of women\u2019s organizations\u201d.<\/p>\n

She added that through such partnerships there is a shared responsibility to achieve results and develop a critical mass of skilled women to deal with gender issues at national levels, while also focussing on policy and implementation at regional and global levels.<\/p>\n

This second phase funding will enable AWDF to innovate through their various platforms and fora to engage fully in the development discourse of women on the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her address, AWDF\u2019s Interim Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Theo Sowa said: \u201cWe welcome the grant from ACBF to AWDF of 2.7 million dollars over a four-year period but what we appreciate more is the way in which that grant is framed. ACBF is giving AWDF the opportunity to both strengthen our core capacity and to reach out to the various women\u2019s organisations we partner with to strengthen their capacities. This is a wonderful opportunity and one for which ACBF should be praised. Only too often, donors focus on projects, wanting organisations to deliver results on the ground without taking into consideration the need for organisations to be strong and sustainable themselves, if they are to deliver on results. ACBF recognises this and makes its funding available in such a way as to strengthen organisational capacity, sustainability and therefore strengthen the impact of programmes on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

The implementation of the second phase of this project, which runs from 2011-2015 holds significance, as this period coincides with international and sub-regional benchmarks, such as the African Union Decade for Women, the 15 year review of the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals, including those covering gender, and the review of progress under the SADC Gender and Development Protocol by 2015.<\/p>\n
