Feminists in Action Fund

The “Feminists in Action” project, launched in 2021, aims to finance organizations operating in 31 countries around the world in the regions of sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean on 4 priority themes: sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), the fight against gender-based violence (GBV), women’s economic empowerment and access to rights. This program, financed by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), will take place over 4 years and has a total budget of 15 million euros. 

A consortium of several NGOs oversees the management of this fund. It is composed of  Care France, Equipop, Oxfam France, the Mediterranean Women’s Fund (FFMed), XOESE (the French-speaking Women’s Fund) and the Pan-African Women’s Welfare Initiative (IPBF).

In order to identify organizations in the regions covered by the study and to support them as best as possible, we invite you to answer this questionnaire.

The data collected is confidential and will be processed only by the members of the consortium and by the groupe Egaé, a consultancy firm commissioned to produce this database. It will not be made public without your consent, nor will it be used for any other purpose.
