Feminist Opportunities Now  (FON) is an AFD-funded project that provides funds to amplify the work of civil society organisations, movements and groups fighting gender-based violence in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

The consortium partners implementing the FON project are IPPF Africa Region, Médecins du Monde, CREA, FIDH and EmpowHer.

We are pleased to announce the launch of FON's third call for applications. This call is addressed to networks, alliances, consortia, groups, and movements of feminist civil society organisations (existing or to be created) that are implementing projects in the African FON countries to prevent and end GBV.

FON also supports informal and unregistered groups of activists, networks or coalitions of organizations. We particularly encourage feminist, women- and youth-led organizations that, in their local context, may face significant obstacles in preventing and combating gender-based violence.

The call for applications for networks, consortia, alliances and groups working in the GBV sector is open!

· Is your organisation part of a network, consortium alliance or group of feminist civil society organisations working to prevent and end GBV?

· Is the network lead organisation based in one of the following countries?

o   Burkina Faso

o   Cote d'Ivoire

o   Ethiopia

o   Guinea

o   Kenya

o   Niger

· Do you aspire to strengthen your network's capacity to be a dynamic, resilient and sustainable advocate for gender justice?
