GFF x CIVIC VOICES: Funding opportunity resources

The World Bank Group’s GFF × CIVIC partnership—a joint initiative of the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF) and the CIVIC: The Civil Society and Social Innovation Alliance—is supporting a consortium led by PATH, in partnership with the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP) and the Organisation of African Youth (OAY), working together as VOICES (Voices Organizing for Inclusive Civic Engagement and Sustainability) to strengthen civil society engagement, coalition-building, and youth leadership around domestic resource mobilization for women’s, children’s and adolescent health and nutrition.

To advance these objectives, the VOICES consortium will award subgrants to local CSOs and youth-led organizations in up to 22 African countries. Local CSOs and youth-led organizations are invited to apply as advocacy partnerships and help drive sustainable, accountable health investment for women, children, and adolescents.

Learn more about the funding opportunity—with information available in English, French, and Portuguese—and contact us at voices@path.org with any questions. Applications close Wednesday, October 7th, 2026 at 23:59 East Africa Time.
