IGNITE is pleased to invite you to join an hybrid panel (online and in Geneva, Switzerland) featuring the Urgent Action Fund – Africa (UAF-Africa), in consortium with the International Rescue Committee (IRC), Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR), and Rene Moawad Foundation.
This panel session intends to showcase how strategic partnerships, bilateral funders’ commitment to feminist funding and flexible funding targeting grassroots CSOs are paramount to localization and the sustainability of movements. Working as a consortium with an intentional focus on feminist principles to grantmaking has fostered cross-regional learning, built local capacities and is contributing to global knowledge to inform relevant and context-appropriate programming. Importantly, it has helped shift power from large Global North organizations to regional and local grassroots organizations and movements who are at the fore of crises response and have a greater influence among target populations, provided they have access to resources.
The panel will host speakers from a Bilateral Agency, an International Non-Governmental Organization (INGO), a pan-African and Feminist Fund, and a local CSO to share learnings and discuss how this refined and intentional methodology for programme implementation is an effective mechanism to achieve localization goals, and to support grassroots/local CSOs in continuing to build on their long-term transformation goals.

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.
