The GREAT Inititiative - Gender Right & Equality Trust

The GREAT/FAS African Gender Awards

Since its launch in 2005, one of Femmes Africa Solidarité’s most inspiring enterprises has been the FAS African Gender Award.

To date, it has been held every two years and recognises African leaders who have significantly improved the lives of women in their own country. Its aim is to make raising the status of women not only a priority but also a covetable goal.

Developing the Awards

With The GREAT Initiative’s support a broader and more prestigious annual awards project is planned, which will recognise effective initiatives addressing gender imbalance across all tiers of African society; whether that be in business, conflict resolution, via the specific efforts of NGOs or philanthropists, and even projects in local communities on the ground.
