About AFWAG

The Alliance For Women and Girls is a regional non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls by providing support to social entrepreneurs and organisations advancing issues affecting women and girls in Africa.

Our vision is to have a world where all women and girls have equal opportunities, are empowered to realise their full potential and live free from discrimination, violence, and poverty.

We believe that one of the best routes to achieve this is by ensuring that organisations and leaders in Africa who are striving to address the systemic barriers that hinder the progress of women and girls, fostering a world of equal opportunity are supported to scale and bring strong organisational foundations.

Our Values

Interdependency

We are all in this together. Our strength comes from supporting and challenging each other, seeking solutions that fortify us all.

Courageous

We stand up for our convictions and objectives, not just in words, but in action. We embolden our partners to voice their perspectives, shake up the status quo, and fuel innovation and change.

Ubuntu

Humaneness, compassion, and community are at the core of our actions. Our strength lies in our unity, in the collective spirit of serving others and making a positive ripple effect on individuals and communities.

Impact Driven

We are committed to making a real difference. With our sights set on advancing the cause of women and girls, we ensure our work leaves a powerful, irrefutable and tangible mark of positive change.

Equity

We champion social justice and inclusivity, recognizing and addressing the disparities ingrained in societal, economic, and systemic inequalities among individuals, groups, and organisations.

Sense of Possibility

We are devoted to the immense potential of all women and girls. Armed with courage, boldness, urgency, and perseverance, we chase transformative impact.

What We Do

AFWAG Early-stage Entrepreneur Incubator

This incubator assists early-stage social enterprises to kick-start their ideas, specifically those aimed at enhancing the livelihood of women and girls in low and middle-income African communities over a 6-8-month period.

AFWAG Ubuntu CEO Leadership Fellowship

We will establish a select fellowship for social entrepreneurs at the helm of organisations that are dedicated to addressing issues affecting women and girls.

AFWAG Network

A hub designed to empower and interconnect enterprises focusing on women and girls, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing.

AFWAG Consulting

AFWAG offers technical assistance to organisations and leaders, such as help with developing strategic plans, fundraising proposals, monitoring and evaluation frameworks and other forms of organisational development.

Facilitating & Enabling Access to Global & Regional Resources

AFWAG facilitates connections between social entrepreneurs and financial resources. We also provide financial support to organisations and leaders working to address gender issues. This could include grants and other forms of financial assistance to help these organisations grow and expand their impact.

Advocacy and Elevation of Voices

We mobilise our collective voices to illustrate the impact of work with girls and women and shift global investment towards locally led, locally driven organisations. AFWAG will also work with other institutions who conduct research on gender issues in Africa and allow their members to use the findings to advocate for policy change and social reform in their local contexts.
