Women as Agents of Change Action Network on Forced Displacement
Members and allies
The action network currently has 31 members from 24 countries, most of whom are activists or social leaders who are committed to the participation of refugee women and have themselves experienced displacement. Numerous partners from politics, the private sector and civil society support the Network.
Implementation of local projects
The Action Network is also committed to providing local support for women and girls on the move. The Action Network members therefore help decide on the countries and advise on project selection for the specially established Funding Initiative on Forced Displacement at the United Nations Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund (External link) (WPHF).
To date, 144 projects with 216 civil society organisations in eleven countries have been approved with BMZ funds (as of December 2024). The projects support displaced women and girls in improving their socio-economic and political participation.
