Established in 2001, we are a pan-African and Feminist Fund that supports African Womn's Human Rights Defenders (AWHRDs), their organisations, collectives and movements to take actions that sustain their work and themselves before, during and after urgent situations.
Urgent Action Fund-Africa provides financial support for strategic interventions that take advantage of opportunities to advance womn’s human rights. Such opportunities arise when an unexpected event – positive or negative – creates a situation in which rapid intervention can significantly impact.
We are an activist pan-African feminist rapid response Fund committed to transforming power relations by resourcing African feminists, AWHRDs, and their formations as an act of solidarity.
Please support us as we prioritise the urgent needs of womn.
Urgent Action Fund Africa is a pan-African and Feminist Rapid Response Grant Making Fund. We have resourced more than 5,200 grants with a geographical presence in Africa’s 54 countries.
Collectively, our Board Members and Staff members are physically present in more than 15 African countries and speak more than 46 African languages
