Early Grant Information for NGOs

Further the project seeks to contribute to fostering a cadre of young and senior women with the capacity to lead mediation, dispute resolution efforts, election observation and as well as training of women political candidates in line with the priorities of the Chapter. Inclusive of this is an intergenerational mentorship programme, which will pilot its first cohort.

Recognizing the diversity of women, the CSO must have the capacity to elevate different voices and perspectives – in particular those most marginalized and facing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination. The selected CSO must have the capacity to galvanize the women’s movement, including women in academia, public and private sectors and civil society around gender equality, women’s empowerment, ending violence against women and girls and leadership.
