Kenya empowerment grants V-1725-KE-EM
Targeting (informal) groups or organisations to raise awareness, develop transformative leadership, build confidence and skills and work against stigmatisation of marginalised and discriminated groups. Empowerment grants are smaller grants with a maximum timeframe of 24 months. Informal groups can access funding by partnering with a formal ‘host’ organisation. In Kenya, empowerment grants are available from €5,000 up to €25,000 on a rolling basis. Empowerment of excluded groups and individuals involves the redistribution of power, so that it accumulates in the hands of marginalised and discriminated groups in society. They must have the confidence to engage and interact with each other as well as in public, and build mutual trust while acknowledging their differences. The Empowerment grant is targeting (informal) groups or organisations, mainly of the Voice target group, to build, strengthen and enhance their capacity of lobby and advocacy. The Voice target groups and their organisations need to be in the driving seat, whether leading on their own, with allies, or exploring and co-creating solutions with those in power. How to apply
