Who we Are
Urgent Action Fund-Africa (UAF-Africa) is a consciously feminist and womn’s human rights pan-African Fund registered in Kenya and Zimbabwe. Operating as a virtual organisation, the Fund boasts of strategic presence in Africa’s five sub-regions- East Africa: Nairobi- Kenya, Kampala-Uganda; North Africa: Cairo- Egypt; Central Africa: Yaoundé and Douala Cameroon; Southern Africa: Harare- Zimbabwe, Lilongwe- Malawi; AntananarivoMadagascar, Johannesburg, Pretoria & Cape Town- South Africa, Gaborone- Botswana and West Africa: Abuja -Nigeria and Parakou- Benin and Lomé- Togo. Recognising the need to move resources rapidly on a continent where opportunities and threats arise and decline quickly, UAF-Africa uses a Rapid Response Grant-making mechanism to support
unanticipated, time-sensitive, innovative, and unique initiatives that promote women’s agency in democratic governance, economic, environmental and climate justice, natural resources governance and conflict transformation while protecting their personhood, integrity, and rights.
About the Feminist Republik
UAF-Africa is hosting the 3rd Feminist Republik Festival (3rd FRF), set to take place in Mombasa, Kenya, from 27-30 November 2025. The Festival will be an opportunity for AWHRDs and feminist movements to learn, link and connect while sharing on and around what regeneration looks like in the wake of rising polycrises and increased resistance to feminist organising. The 3rd edition will centre the lived realities of WHRDs from crisis contexts across the continent, unpack what feminist response to crisis means and invite us to reflect on trauma through the lens of crisis.
Through group discussions, storytelling, art, song, poetry and dance, we aim to critically engage with a critique of the systems that have never worked for us, explore transformational futures, and get re-energised and rejuvenated in the process. The festival will be designed with moments to grieve and celebrate. The healing justice research findings have also surfaced traditional healing practices that have been applied in feminist settings that we are interested in surfacing and collectively practising during the festival.
The Assignment
UAF-Africa is seeking to engage a qualified printing service provider to produce high-quality branded materials for the festival within the specified timeline. The printed work is expected to be vibrant to capture and creatively interpret the spirit, energy, and depth of the 3rd Feminist Republik Festival.
