Les femmes africaines rencontrent souvent des difficultés à changer les causes de leurs privations parce qu’elles n’ont pas de capacités adéquates pour entreprendre des actions axées sur les résultats. En 2003, le Fonds de Développement pour la Femme Africaine (AWDF) a créé une Unité de Renforcement des Capacités (CBU) en vue de répondre aux besoins en matière de capacités des organisations de défense des droits des femmes et leur permettre de mettre en œuvre efficacement des programmes dans cinq domaines thématiques prioritaires pour les femmes africaines. Depuis sa création, l’Unité a organisé une série de formations dans les domaines suivants : le leadership, la gestion financière, la communication, la mise en réseau, la mobilisation des ressources et la gestion axée sur les résultats à l’intention des bénéficiaires des subventions de l’AWDF afin d’assurer un impact durable.

Les organisations de Introduction à l’atelier de Programmation Axée sur les Résultats (PAR) défense des droits des femmes des pays francophones africains sont limitées dans leurs capacités d’accès aux subventions de l’AWDF principalement en raison de leurs faibles compétences en matière de préparation des propositions de financement efficaces. Souvent, leurs propositions ne font pas ressortir clairement les raisons pour lesquelles elles existent, ce qu’elles veulent réaliser avec les subventions, qui sont leurs partenaires et comment ces partenaires mesurent-ils leurs réalisations.

C’est en effet dans cette perspective que l’AWDF a organisé au Togo, du 26 au 28 novembre 2015, un atelier destiné aux cadres dirigeants de 16 organisations bénéficiaires (voir liste des participantes en annexe 1) afin de renforcer leurs capacités en matière de programmation axée sur les résultats.

Au total, 17 participantes ont pris part à l’atelier, deux membres de l’équipe de l’AWDF, un interprète et une animatrice. La liste des participantes et le programme figurent en annexe. Le présent rapport est structuré comme suit: 1) Résumé du contenu de l’atelier; 2) Observations et commentaires du formateur sur l’atelier; et 3) Recommandations et suggestions aux fins du suivi.

Background

In 2014, the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) launched a feminist coaching project on leadership for women leaders of its grantee organisations. In 2015, the project was expanded to include strengthening governance frameworks within participating organisations. The project is based on our knowledge of the persistent challenges of African women’s organisations with issues related to resource mobilisation, communications, governance, leadership transition, safety and wellbeing. Given these constraints and the external context women’s organisations work in, they tend to focus on narrow short-term advocacy or urgent service-delivery projects, with little capacity to expand alliances, envision innovative strategies and be forward thinking.

This coaching project seeks to develop the individual leadership skills and values of participating CEOs/EDs as well as those in second level management. It is also aimed at strengthening the institutional and governance structures of participating organisations and providing an enabling framework fortheirrelevance and sustainability. At AWDF, we believe that a well-grounded leader in feminist values, ideology and clarity of purpose can accelerate the process of social justice and development effectively. Therefore, investment in both individual leaders and governance frameworks of African women’s rights organisations is vital.

By September this year, the third batch of 10 AWDF grantee organisations and 20 women leaders will be completing the coaching project. So far, these grantees are reporting improvements in leadership and communication styles, effective staff management and active engagement of their board members. Leaders have improved their visibility and fundraising abilities through written articles and their media appearances.

3 rd Coaching Cohort: Project Duration & Methodology

This is a 9-month coaching project on leadership and governance from November 2017– July 2018. The project is targeted at CEO/EDs/Programme Managers/Coordinators and those in second level management of AWDF grantee organisations within the age bracket of 18 – 40 years.

The coaching project will entail the following:

1. Attending the 7 th Chief Executive Officer (CEO) forum. This is a 3 day event for orientation, skills sharing, strategy development and networking for participating leaders, coaches and AWDF. This event will be held in October 2017. (Venue and dates will be communicated later)

2. Engaging in one-on-one coaching via phone calls, email, Skype conversations and occasional inperson meetings with their personal coaches from November 2017 – July 2018

3. Governance strengthening activities for boards of participating organisations, twice within the 9 months.

4. Writing of opinion pieces or articles by leaders about their work and development.

5. Participating in at least one AWDF skill building training/workshop where necessary.

What is the future of Africa if seen through the lens of women’s rights? What opportunities and potential crises lie ahead? Are our current strategies appropriate in light of where Africa is headed? Using a futures lens, how do we contribute to shaping the most just, promising and democratic futures for Africa?

In 2016, AWDF embarked on a strategic planning process focused on the question of how AWDF and African women’s organisations can contribute to shaping the future of Africa. To ground this planning, AWDF worked with Kenyan foresight practitioner Katindi Sivi Njonjo to produce a trends analysis – bringing together the gendered data around Africa’s future trajectories. The resulting report Futures Africa: Trends for Women by 2030 is the first of its kind, offering both statistics and analysis around key political, economic and social trends, and illuminating gaps in the data needed to accurately plan for the future.

Alongside this empirical process, the AWDF staff team and advisors brought in their creative imaginations to generate scenario stories that depict four possible states for Africa in 2030 from a feminist and woman’s rights perspective. The stories are shaped by an analysis that the key independent drivers of change for women in Africa will be:

• shifting demographics (age and migration);
• the expansion and use of ICTs,
• (geo)political power dynamics;
• the nature of education.

The scenario stories have been made into an animation series in collaboration with Zimbabwean animator/illustrator Mationesa Wade, and soundscape by Ghana’s DJ Keyzz.
