African Women's Development Fund

The African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) is a feminist non-governmental organization that operates throughout Africa and the Middle East. The AWDF’s purpose is to secure funding from different types of donors to create grants, which are then used to support a variety of feminist causes and organizations throughout the region. The AWDF was founded in 2000 by three women, Dr. Hilda Tadria, Joana Foster, and Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi, who all shared an interest in creating positive change for women. Its headquarters are located in Accra, Ghana.
