To advance the present understanding of context-responsive anti-corruption initiatives, the learning project on feminist approaches to anti-corruption aims to support groups, organisations, collectives, and networks that are addressing corruption in their contexts from a feminist and intersectional perspective. In order to increase the ability of their ecosystem to detect and mitigate corruption, the project would like to ask parties, organisations, collectives, and networks to join in an open call for suggestions.
Key Objectives
- Candidates must be engaged in direct or indirect work on the following to be eligible for an award:
- More analysis of the effects of corruption on marginalised communities, as well as the involvement and leadership of these communities in creating and carrying out anti-corruption initiatives. They consist of indigenous peoples, people of colour, LGBTQIA+ groups, racial and ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities.
- Stronger safety and security mechanisms, including whistleblowing and culturally appropriate tools, to protect individuals and organizations engaged in anti-corruption efforts from violent and non-violent forms of retaliation from governments or other powerful groups.
- Sextortion and other patriarchal power dynamics that reinforce gender stereotypes and restrict women’s and girls’ access to essential public services including health, education, employment, and decision-making spaces must be studied using culturally relevant approaches. Information should be broken down based on factors including age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, and handicap.
- To assist activists and organisations working in conflict zones and during humanitarian crises, explore alternate methods for managing risks and promote accountability and compliance standards.
- A more comprehensive approach that recognizes and addresses the linkages between Illicit Financial Flows and corruption, particularly how wealthy multinational corporations use tax avoidance schemes and secrecy jurisdictions for their private gain, disproportionately impacting the most marginalized groups.
- Practises for finding and filling up policy and legal gaps, as well as for reinforcing existing ones, in order to benefit or improve institutions or the greater community.
Financial Details
- The annual grant amounts will range from $20,000 to $50,000 (flexible funding), with the possibility of receiving support over a longer period of time.
Eligibility Criteria
- To begin this project, they are seeking suggestions from networks, collectives, groups, and groups keen to study, discuss, and debate issues related to corruption prevention and mitigation.
- Priority will be given to applicants living or working in the following nations: Syria, or Syrian-led projects operating in exile, as well as Armenia, Kenya, Guatemala, Lebanon, Mexico, Nepal, and Uganda (the proposed activity should concentrate on one or more of these contexts).
- The proposal review process will also give preference to feminist initiatives working with vulnerable or historically marginalised groups, such as LGBTQIA+ people, Black and Indigenous people, people with disabilities, migrants and refugees, girls and adolescents, and sex workers.
