Established in 2001, we are a pan-African rapid response Fund that supports advocates for women's and girls' rights, their organisations, collectives, and movements to take actions that sustain their work and themselves before, during and after urgent situations.
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 a pan-African rapid response Fund committed to transforming power relations by resourcing African women's rights advocates and their formations as an act of solidarity.
Please support us as we prioritise the urgent needs of women.
Urgent Action Fund Africa is a pan-African Rapid Response Grant Making Fund. We have resourced over 6,000 grants with a geographical presence in Africa’s 54 countries.
Collectively, our Board Members and Staff members are physically present in more than 15 African countries and speak more than 46 African languages
