1. Documenting the Story of African Feminist Philanthropy
We are seeking to highlight the transformative power of African feminist and women’s funds in promoting the strength, power and transformative social justice agendas of the feminist movement. Through the exploration of lessons and insights from African feminist philanthropy, our aim is to showcase and amplify the impact and effectiveness it has on the feminist and women’s rights movements it serves. The process will also contribute to the narrative and evidence-building efforts in re-imagining Pan-African and Feminist Philanthropies. By doing so, we seek to uplift African feminist narratives and increase resourcing for gender justice through the African Feminist Philanthropic Ecosystem.

This assignment will involve the mapping and assessment of the context of African Feminist Philanthropy, feminist and women’s funds, networks, and platforms, and their role in shaping and spearheading philanthropic responses to gender inequities on the continent.

2. Monitoring Site Visits
Monitoring visits is one of the key aspects of AWDF’s Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning mandate, undertaken annually. It is one of the various external processes that AWDF uses to assess funded projects’ performance, measure project outcomes, validate information, interact with stakeholders, including selected feminists, and familiarise with grantee partners and their beneficiaries. The visit also serves as a learning opportunity for AWDF to gain insight and in-depth understanding of organisations current systems and structures and identify gaps and challenges that might require capacity-building support. In addition, the monitoring visit helps AWDF to learn about the pertinent women’s rights issues affecting women and girls in the countries visited, and this information is used in strengthening our programming and philanthropy work.

AWDF is looking for individual consultants based in selected African countries to undertake the visits. The procedure and approach to be used for the monitoring visits will be communicated and agreed with selected consultants at the inception stage. Consultants might also be required to carry out a physical visit if the need arises.
