The project

The AFF aims to strengthen the structure, participation, influence, networking, and funding of French-speaking feminist CSOs in multilateral forums, particularly in order to combat anti-rights movements internationally. To this end, it will 1. support the coordination of AFF members' participation in international events and summits, 2. strengthen the movement's capacity to understand the functioning of multilateral bodies and mechanisms and the strategies of anti-rights movements, 3. strengthening international advocacy and initiatives led by feminist CSOs with international and regional organizations and international financial institutions, and 4. supporting the establishment of links between Francophone feminist CSOs and donors to encourage international philanthropy to provide financial support to Francophone feminist CSOs in accordance with feminist principles.
