To achieve this, AWDF mobilises financial, human and material resources to support local, national, and regional initiatives for transformation led by African women. AWDF is mandated to fund in all 54 African countries.
AWDF’s current strategic plan Shaping the Future (2017-2021) focuses the organisations work around investments to build the best possible future for women in Africa.
