FemFocus aims to advance women’s economic participation as entrepreneurs, combat violence against women and girls, and strengthen women’s leadership in conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding. Civil society organisations can apply for grants until January 7, 2026.
FemFocus is part of the government’s ‘Focus’ policy framework. That policy framework aims to strengthen local civil society organisations, so that they can provide the necessary services and conduct dialogue to achieve the objectives of a total of 8 instruments. Local ownership is central to the policy framework. Funding models are simplified, with only a few layers: support partners (intermediaries) select, finance and strengthen in-country partners who design and implement activities in their own contexts.
