Gender just climate and water solutions are in urgent need of your support
The Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action calls for a commitment from governments, international development banks and funds to uphold the human right to water and invest in women's leadership in gender just climate and water solutions!
Women and girls from local and indigenous communities are at the forefront of protecting water resources and ensuring water security for all. In return, they face water privatization, pollution from extractive industries, human rights violations and false climate solutions. The UN 2023 Water Conference is a critical opportunity for decision-makers to commit to funding and political support for gender just climate and water solutions in the Water Action Agenda.

News / 31 maart 2022Well-deserved recognition for small grants funds!
We are exited about the news that Ms MacKenzie Scott decided to entrust substantial funding to a wide range of small grants funds from Both ENDS' partner networks*.

Small grants funds know better than anyone how to reach local communities, who to support and what kind of financial as well as non-financial support is most needed. Thus, they bridge a wide funding gap. Both ENDS applauds this recognition of the important role of these funds…
