Deadline: 30-Sep-22
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office is calling for Bids to lead the Advocacy and Knowledge components of new Women’s Rights Organisations (WROs) programme.
Components
- The Advancing Gender Equality through support to Women’s Rights Organisations and Movements is a new programme comprised of 3 components:
- Supporting grassroots women’s attendance and meaningful participation at national, regional and international meetings
- Supporting the production and dissemination of policy-relevant products that reflect the priorities and knowledge of women and girls at the grassroots.
- These components will seek to amplify diverse grassroots women’s and girls’ voices in donor, national government and international policy making. They will do this by:
- Funding and facilitating WROs, activists, women peacebuilders and women human rights defenders’ attendance and advance support at key national, regional and international meetings
- Facilitating more informed policy development by better capturing, synthesizing and feeding back learning and evidence from grassroots WROs and movements
- A key principle is intersectionality. Both components will work with and support diverse WROs and movements, including those led by and representing women with disabilities and LBTQ+, as well as adolescent girl and youth feminist groups.
Sector: Empowerment and accountability, Girls and women, Research.
