WomenPower2030 Seed-Grant 2025 for Nigeria and Seirra Leone: Call for Applications
Women-led and women’s rights organizations are encouraged to apply to the Women Environmental Programme (WEP) in order to help achieve the WomenPower2030: Feminist Accelerate Actions for Sustainable Development target. The overarching goal of the WomenPower2030 project is to promote the leadership and rights of women, girls, and other oppressed groups within the context of sustainable development.
Increased participation and influence of women’s and feminist CSOs in the creation and execution of gender-just climate action and sustainable development policies, strategies, and initiatives at the national, regional, and international levels is the project’s anticipated result.
The European Union and a group of five feminist organizations led by Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF) have signed a Financial Framework Partnership Agreement (FFPA) called WomenPower2030:Feminist Accelerate Action for Sustainable Development. The Asia Pacific Forum for Women, Law and Development (APWLD), the African Women’s Development and Communication Network (FEMNET), the Women Environmental Programme, and Fundacion Para Estudio E Investigacion de la Mujer (FEIM) are additional consortium members.
