Co-Impact announces its Open Call for Country-level Grants to advance gender equality.

There are multiple ways to advance gender equality. These include technical engagement, advocacy efforts, strengthening governance and accountability mechanisms, tackling deep-seated social norms, and other ways of challenging the status quo. At its core, the Open call is looking for partners who take the view that enduring and positive change needs feminist approaches that tackle root causes of structural injustice, question who holds power and how it is exercised, address restrictive and discriminatory norms, and deepen inclusion.

This open call is an invitation to Global South and locally-rooted organizations – civil society groups, think-tanks and academic institutions, professional associations and networks, women’s rights groups, and feminist and allied movements, among others. Through this Fund, Co-Impact will support initiatives that are working to make systems just and inclusive and advance women’s leadership at all levels.

The application period will be open till 20 December 2021. Find more information here.
