Description:

CJIFA is pleased to announce the launch of its 2025 Community Empowerment Grant Program in Africa. This initiative aims to foster local engagement in climate awareness, action, and sustainable development. By empowering grassroots organizations and community groups, the program seeks to implement transformative ideas that bridge the gap between innovation and practical solutions, driving change from the community to the national and regional levels.

Small grassroots NGOs and CBOs with 1–3 years of activity, especially youth-led, women-led, or marginalized groups. Grants support short-term projects (6–12 months) addressing climate resilience, good governance, women’s rights, inclusion, local economic empowerment, and corporate accountability. Innovative, scalable, and inclusive proposals prioritized.
