"Generally, grantees have noted efforts by policy and decision makers to review policies, laws, and budget allocations to treat women as equal citizens and ensure their access to resources. Existing laws and policies are being analysed to identify gaps related to gender inclusion. There has been a 58% increase in key influencers of public opinion – traditional leaders, parliamentarians, gender focal persons and champions within councils as well as activists within communities – being engaged in advocacy activities to end violence against women and girls. Specifically, they are involved in lobbying, advocating for human rights generally, ensuring the implementation of gendered rights for all people, especially the marginalised in councils and communities. Additionally, communities are increasingly taking front-line positions in dialogues around pertinent issues aimed at addressing women's rights violations in their localities. They are working with church religious and traditional leaders, as well as celebrities to lobby for transformation and changes in attitudes and behaviour and to raise awareness on reducing gender based violence. The Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust in South Africa signed an MOU with the Deputy Minister of Justice setting out demands for a sexual offences court system to be established in Khayelitsha. He confirmed that the Khayelitsha Magistrates’ Court will be upgraded through a collaborative process early in 2018 starting off with an audit including a site inspection. The Minister expressed an awareness of the poor infrastructure of the court and the long time it takes for rape cases to be finalised."

Grantees' projects contributed to a change in 36 laws and policies by the end of LFS PI implementation. Details of this information can be found in the final end of project report LFS PI and Baseline report
AWDF anticipates that selected CSOs' Lobbying and Advocacy activities will influence, governments, private sector and societal groups to change their laws and policies, to support sustainability and gender inclusiveness over the five-year period.
Our funded partners worked to influence government agencies and traditional authorities to change policies and laws as a means to promote women and girls and gender-diverse persons rights and create a safe and inclusive environment. They influenced the adoption and improvement of laws at local and national levels.
Since project inception, our grantee partners’ in Algeria, Burundi, Cameroon, Nigeria and
Yemen have engaged and lobbied duty-bearers and initiated processes for the adoption of new laws and the improvement of 6 existing laws and policies to promote women and girls’ rights and gender diverse persons in their countries and communities. The partners have engaged with and garnered the support of stakeholders including 20 women parliamentarians and 25 local authorities.
Further details on this outcome can be found in the 2022 annual report.

Number of times CSOs succeed in creating space for CSOs demands and positions
During phase one all supported Women's Rights Organisations engaged in advocacy. And at least 36 of the supported WROs successfully created various spaces for their demands and positions to be heard. This contributed to the improvement of 36 laws. For more qualitative information, please refer to the Baseline report and End of project reporting (Phase 1).
AWDF anticipates that targeted women's rights organisations and CSOs will play a transformative role in decision-making processes in their constituencies through agenda setting, influencing debate, and/or successfully creating space to engage with key stakeholders and duty-bearers.
Despite the shrinking civic space and the challenges feminist and women’s rights
organisations face, our grantee partners created spaces to engage in their communities to advocate for advancing the agenda on women and girls rights. They leveraged the anchoring power of their networks and alliances to ensure greater impact.
As at the time of reporting, our funded partners in Algeria, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe created spaces for their demands and positions to be heard at least 27 times. This was done by implementing advocacy and reflection forums, developing formal and informal frameworks to position civil society organisations' needs and highlighting and demanding relevant changes that promote gender justice. They also used social media to ignite different conversations and debates online. Their engagements have contributed to commitments from duty bearers.
Further details on this outcome can be found in the 2022 Annual report.

AWDF aims to strengthen the lobbying and advocacy capacity of three targeted grassroots, national and regional feminist/minority-led organisations and CSOs through funding, capacity building, and cross-learning opportunities to effectively implement gender-sensitive advocacy strategies and affect policy change and policy implementation.
1 women with disability-led organisation, 1 indigenous women-led organisation, 2 female sex-worker-led organisations, and 1 refugee women-led that received grants under LFS (both in Africa) reported an increased capacity to lobby and advocate, through the contribution of AWDF’s institutional strengthening and financial (grant) support. AWDF's USD 9,000 capacity support grant meant organisations could conduct capacity-building training for their staff, contributing to their ability to deliver on their mandates and implement advocacy strategies.
AWDF aims to strengthen the lobbying and advocacy capacity of four targeted grassroots, national and regional feminist/minority-led organisations and CSOs through funding, capacity building, and cross-learning opportunities to effectively implement gender-sensitive advocacy strategies and affect policy change and policy implementation.

AWDF aims to strengthen the lobbying and advocacy capacity of six targeted grassroots, national and regional feminist/youth-led organisations, and CSOs through funding, capacity building, and cross-learning opportunities to effectively implement gender-sensitive advocacy strategies and affect policy change and policy implementation.
2 Youth-led organisations that received grants under LFS in Angola and Burundi reported an increased capacity to lobby and advocate through the contribution of AWDF’s institutional strengthening and financial (grant) support. AWDF's USD 9,000 capacity support grant meant organisations could conduct capacity-building training for their staff, contributing to their ability to deliver on their mandates and implement advocacy strategies. For instance, one partner organisation in Angola received additional funding of 330,000 Euros from Bread for the World Germany. USAID also approached the organisation to undergo an assessment of financing after listing AWDF as a donor. This funding will increase their reach and ability to fund and implement advocacy campaigns.
