The “global/multi-regional” category includes global organizations like AWID, or WIEGO, but also organizations like Women’s Learning Partnership, Women Living under Muslim Laws, the Huairou Commission, and Association for Progressive Communications, whose work took place in multiple countries across several regions of the world. This is a unique feature of the Fund – supporting several organizations whose mission and advocacy work is at a regional or global level, or who work across different regions and contexts. The recognition of the value and importance of transnational strategies for advancing gender equality at a time when many donors are narrowly focused on the “local”, and on “real grassroots women” is a commendable feature of the Fund. We currently live in a world where the impacts of policy decisions and market fluctuations are felt even in the remotest corners of the world, and the dividing line between the local and global has been completely blurred.
