IGNITE is a consortium funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) though the Support Fund for Feminist Organizations (SFFO) comprising the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR), the Rene Moawad Foundation (RMF), and Urgent Action Fund-Africa (UAF-Africa).
We aim at leveraging Feminist CSOs amplified voice, confidence and agency to advance gender-transformative education and empowerment for marginalized adolescent girls through direct support to girls, their families, schools and other sub-national institutions, while simultaneously supporting research and advocacy to advance the rights of adolescent girls.
Support and strengthen feminist-led CSOs to implement transformative models of shifting social norms to ensure marginalized girls have improved access to inclusive and gender-transformative education and are empowered to claim their rights.
Promote sustainability of feminist CSOs and assert their role in transforming social norms toward gender equality through capacity strengthening and south-south learning.
Inspiring Girls and Grassroots Networks for Inclusive and Transformative Education (IGNITE) is a 36-month project that aims to amplify the voices and agency of feminist-led CSOs and adolescent girls to subvert gender-related social norms that hinder girls’ participation in education and promote girls’ social inclusion and empowerment.
