Urgent Action Fund Africa provides financial support for strategic interventions that take advantage of opportunities to advance women’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 only able to support interventions that are: Strategic : The action/initiative is related to a pre-determined plan to create structural change that will advance women’s human rights and address some of the fundamental or root challenges that pre-empted the situation. Unanticipated: The situation or opportunity could not have been foreseen and therefore could not have been planned for.
Time Urgent: The initiative must take place quickly (during a period of less than three months) for it to be effective or the opportunity will be lost. Sustainable: The group is able to carry out the proposed action effectively and can secure funding for its future sustainability.
Supported: The group has the support of others involved in women’s human rights or related fields, locally or globally who must also be familiar with the situation.
