Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action

Origin of Funding: Ministry of Foreign Affairs The Netherlands

Detailed project description:

The Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action (GAGGA) brings together the Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres (FCAM), Both ENDS and Mama Cash, with the World Resource Institute (WRI) as strategic partner. The goal of the partnership is to catalyse the collective power of the women´s rights and environmental justice movements towards realising a world in which women can and do exercise their rights to water, food security and a clean, healthy, and safe environment. GAGGA believes the women’s rights and environmental justice movements have each achieved great success and positive strides in their respective spheres through the use of different methods and tactics. There is much they can learn from one another. And the change needed requires the attention of both, working harmoniously and effectively together.
Both ENDS specifically brings in the environmental angle of this program as well as its expertise in lobby & advocacy at international level, supporting environmental grassroots funds, NGOs and networks to engage directly in lobby & advocacy activities at local, national and international levels, and building the capacities of grassroots groups to do so.
