  • Supporting grantee partners’ capacity development and communication with FRIDA and conducting outreach.
  • Informing strategy and programmatic decisions in various areas of FRIDA’s work through thematic working groups such as Communications, Resource Mobilization, Capacity Development, and Grantmaking.
  • Informing FRIDA’s strategic direction every 5 years.

  • Latin America
  • Caribbean
