First major grants awarded to support LGBTI civil society in southern Africa

Both UHAI EASHRI and The Other Foundation were awarded £150,000 each towards their core costs.

The International Development programme aims to empower locally based civil society organisations to address discrimination and disadvantage based on gender, sexual orientation or gender identity in sub-Saharan Africa.  During 2015, we will focus on funding established and emerging participatory grantmakers, who are rooted in their community and involve activists in their decision-making.
