African Women's Development Fund
First pan-African foundation
The African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) is a Pan-African feminist fund that resources, strengthens and upholds women’s rights and feminist organisations and movements across Africa to make gender justice a reality for all on our continent and worldwide. We envision and work towards creating an Africa and a world where gender justice, freedom and dignity are achieved for all. Our mission is to resource, strengthen and uphold African women’s rights and feminist organisations and movements that strive for gender justice and social transformation. As a multicultural feminist organisation, diversity and inclusion are part of the major tenets of our operations. Our core values are Accountability & Integrity, Intersectionality & Meaningful Inclusion, Solidarity & Collective Care, Learning & Adaptability, Courage & Joy and Creativity & Curiosity. We listen to women and respect their knowledge, perspectives and diverse experiences. Our intersectional feminist approach, with its focus on realigning power relationships and breaking down abusive, coercive power, is part of our core mandate. It is reflected in our strategic framework, LemLem (2023-2033), which highlights the importance of working with women facing multiple forms of discrimination as a key cross-cutting focus for all areas of our work.
