About AFD Feminists in Action:

The general objective of this project is to support the transformative power of
feminist organizations in the global South for a more gender equal world. The
specific objective aims to develop the capacities of feminist organizations at the

technical and financial support will be guided by feminist principles and will
strengthen the consolidation of a transnational ecosystem of diverse and
complementary actress and actors.

About CARE
CARE is a leading relief and development non-governmental organization working to
end global poverty. Established in 1946, it is now a confederation composed of 14
