SSA Advisors Recruitment 2015

FRIDA is recruiting passionate and committed young feminist activists from Sub-Saharan Africa to join its Global Advisory Committee!

Since its founding, FRIDA has relied on a Global Committee of Advisors made up of mostly young feminist activists from all over the world. These Advisors play a key role in the following areas:

  • Facilitating FRIDA’s  annual participatory grantmaking process by screening applications, reviewing final results, and supporting due diligence.

  • 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.

Given the increase in grant applications we receive from the Sub-Saharan Africa region and the need to expand our presence and work there, we are currently recruiting nine (9) Advisors will be selected from each of the following regions:

  • Southern Africa
