Fund for Gender Equality Annual Report 2018-2019

The FGE has one guiding purpose: to support national, women-led civil society organizations in achieving women’s economic and political empowerment and advancing the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). As UN Women’s global grantmaking programme dedicated to working with civil society, the FGE transforms financing from diverse donors into high-impact initiatives led by women. We invest in their ideas and abilities to pursue interventions benefitting women and girls most at risk of being left behind. Almost 97 per cent of projects target at least one vulnerable group, and 70 per cent involve two or more groups.
