Deadline: Ongoing

Urgent Action Fund-Africa is currently seeking applicants for its Rapid Response Grant with an aim to support women’s groups within Africa responding to an urgent situation and working towards the overall goal of promoting, advancing and protecting women’s human rights.

Rapid response grantmaking is the provision of immediate small grants within a short period of time to support interventions that are strategic and urgent which may not be part of planned programme activities and are not covered by long term funding.

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 have a significant impact.

Urgent Action Fund-Africa makes small grants intended to enable a short-term intervention in the course of a long-term strategy.
