Deadline: 16 May 2014
Nike Foundation has announced two great funding opportunities for NGOs all across the world to seek partnerships and provide funding to undertake advocacy for influencing the post-2015 development agenda to prioritize the issue of adolescent girls living in poverty.
Nike Foundation’s Girl Declaration is a call to action to put girls at the heart of the post-2015 development agenda. It contains recommended guiding principles, goals and targets for inclusion in the post-2015 framework developed through a collaborative global process that included consultation with leading development organizations and more than 500 adolescent girls living in poverty in 14 countries around the world.
The Girl Declaration has inspired action around the world, from the Daraja Academy in Kenya to BRAC in South Sudan, both of which shared inspirational videos of their girls reading and signing the Girl Declaration within their networks. Dermalogica’s FITE team gathered hundreds of supporters who signed the Declaration and raised awareness about girls by putting up Girl Declaration posters in their salons. Supporters of the Girl Declaration signatories, including Oprah Winfrey, pushed the reach of #girldeclaration to 29 million during the 10 days of activation leading up to International Day of the Girl.
The two opportunities currently open are:
