1$ Movement building is not in itself an
organic process ; individuals,
groups, and organi*ations must
achieve common agendas for
change and build collective po%er to
4advance %omen(s rights goals and
agendas6 and ultimately enhance
the 4capacity of its different
constituents to %or2 together$6 5n
other %ords, as )ydia stated, 4%e
need to ma2e it happen$6
,elated to this, it %as also stated
that 4good %or26 and 4getting
sufficient resources for
organi*ations6 are insufficient to
achieve the goals of a common
social agenda$ These things must be
supplemented by and coordinated
as a movement <as defined by
'rilatha 9atli%ala=, as movements
possess the capacity to connect
strategies and forge alliances
bet%een multiple players$ The
ability to create social change is
largely influenced by the capacity to
thin2 and act collectively$
!$ Women(s movements from many
regions of the %orld have en>oyed
significant achievements$ 8ne of the
more notable achievements is the

achievements do not come %ithout
their challenges in funding,
bac2lash, leadership, fragmentation,
achieving common political agendas
and a shared understanding of
normative frame%or2s for movement

/o%er/oint presentation for more
challenges and achievements
including more specific data for the
different geographic regions$
3$ Funding trends for the different
regions generally point to an
inaccessibility of <bilateral and
multilateral= development aid and
large foundation funding$ The other
trend is that the average grant si*e
is gro%ing, %hich ma2es funding
especially inaccessible for smaller
groups and organi*ations$ The fact
that @ of %omen(s organi*ations
have organi*ational budgets less
than or e?ual to A:"7 illustrates that
there is a gap bet%een the funding
landscape on the one hand and the
and the %omen(s movement
landscape on the other$
For e+ample, thirty-eight percent of
%omen(s groups in the &uropeBC5'
region report receiving less funding

Thirty-seven percent of %omen(s

How the Global Fund Structures Its Role in
the Global Womens Movement
Most groups e+pressed ?uestions and
concerns %ith ho% the Global Fund
understands and structures its role in the
global %omen(s movement$ The morning
presentation on led many groups to
seriously consider the prospect of Global
Fund as an 4intermediary6 bet%een funding
agencies %hich larger grants budgets and
the often small groups that ma2e up
%omen(s movements globally$
'ome groups gave other specific ideas as
to ho% the Global Fund should structure its
role in the global %omen(s movement$
There %ere some references to ho% the
Global Fund should ta2e o%nership over its
e+pertise and use that o%nership as an
avenue to%ards becoming the 4e+pert of
choice6 in donor education and consulting$
8ther groups implicated a cross-building
and net%or2ing role for the Global Fund
because, as the /o%er/oint presentation
sho%ed, there is much fragmentation and
isolation in the movement$ 9ecause the
Global Fund has the resources to do so, it
should ta2e more of an active role in lin2ing
grantees and other institutional players in
the movement %ith each other so as to build
the capacity of the movement to create
social change$
,elated to this, many of the groups %ho
reflected on this role also
reflected on the implications for
Global Fund(s grantma2ing and
fundraising$ Who the Global
Fund decides to fund and ho% it
e+ecutes its grantma2ing
process is lin2ed to ho% the
Global Fund structures its role in
the global %omen(s movement$
5n terms of Global Fund(s
fundraising, some groups
reported that the Global Fund
should seriously consider %hom
it approaches for money and
ho% it does so and %hether
these funding sources reflect
Global Fund(s overall
grantma2ing mission and role in
the movement.
While meeting participants seemed to
process the information presented in the
/o%er/oint presentation as 4eye-opening6,
this theme is not a ne% one$ The central
component of GFW(s !""3 ; !""F strategic
plan %as 4to strengthen the infrastructure of
the global %omen(s movementG6 9ecause
the Global Fund for Women seems to have
already made this commitment, the ?uestion
no% becomes ho% e+actly %ill Global Fund
for Women position and structure itself so
that it is most effective in its efforts to
strengthen the infrastructure of the global
%omen(s movement and e+ecute its
4
missionH
How the Global Fund Understands Growth
and Its Implementation
'ome groups e+pressed implications to
Global Fund(s grantma2ing budget in terms
of gro%th$ 8ne group stated that as an
outcome of gro%th, Global Fund %ill need to
raise enough funds to double its
grantma2ing budget so that 4more money
%ill get to the movement$6 Another group
e+pressed that gro%th instead should be
understood from a 4product base6
perspective, that perhaps Global Fund
should e+pand its product base to include
educational programs and consulting
services and not only include grants$
5n response to these statements, another
group offered that gro%th, no matter %hat
the conte+t is, should be purposeful and
deliberate$ 48ptimi*ing6 the Global Fund(s
budget should not be for the sole reason of
increasing Global Fund(s financial
resources, but rather for the benefit of the
entire %omen(s movement$
All of these statements point to ho% the
Global Fund for Women understands
gro%th and its responsibility to the
movement$ Global Fund meeting
participants seem to pin gro%th as a
response to the Global Fund(s perceived
role in the movement$ The morning
/o%er/oint presentation painted a picture
of the funding landscape in %omen(s rights
%ith the Global Fund as a ma>or player in
the field$ For various reasons having to do
%ith its uni?ue grantma2ing philosophy, its
relatively large grantma2ing budget, and its
ability to absorb large grants, Global Fund
already plays an enormously influential role
in the advancing and building of the global
%omen(s movement$ .ot only this, but it
also has the potential to create even more
impact in social change-creation$ 9y
gro%ing in %ays that are strategic and
accountable to the needs of the %omen(s
movement, Global Fund is enacting
responsibility and o%nership of its e+pertise
and influence$ As &llen stated, the Global
Fund for Women already intervenes in the
%omen(s movement everyday, so it 4better
2no% %hat it is doingI6
While gro%th in the most general terms
should be strategic, purposeful, and
deliberate, smaller details of that gro%th
should also be fashioned and implemented
similarly$ For instance, several groups
suggested that perhaps Global Fund should
e+pand its product base to include donor
educational programs and consultation
services$ 'imilarly, according to the
/o%er/oint presentation, the ability of social
movements to create social change is
ultimately influenced by institutional players(
abilities to connect %ith each other, advance
2no%ledge, share strategies and
challenges, and celebrate successes$
RE3EN0E *ONTIN00M E4ER*I%E
After the reports bac2 on the 45mplications6 e+ercise, &llen had the meeting participants position
themselves on an imaginary revenue continuum do%n the middle of the room, %ith A!F
million, t%o times GFW(s current revenue, as the middle$ 8n the continuum roughly C"@
of meeting participants indicated that they %ould li2e to see a doubling of revenue <A!F
million in !"13=, 3"@ aspired three times the revenue of !""# <AC! million in !"13= and
another 3"@ %ould li2e to see four times or more revenue <A: million or more=$
While this e+ercise indicated a readiness to gro%, the ?uestion ho% to gro%, for e+ample in
terms of organi*ational design, the role of strategic allies or processing of grants proposal, %as
still on the table$

directions for the planning period !""3 ;
!""F$ -espite the varying nature of each of
the groups( themes, many reported similar
outcomes, and in some cases, similar
strategies$ )isted belo% are the outcomes
that appeared across most, if not all,
groups$
Increase Mone and Resources !or the
Global Womens Movement
8ne ma>or commonality found in almost
every group %as an e+pressed desire to
increase the amount of money and
resources for the global %omen(s
movement$ While groups differed in their
strategies and rationale for doing so, all
groups sho%ed agreement that a 2ey
principle of Global Fund(s ne% strategic
directions for !""F ; !"13 should be the
increased allocation of funds and resources
to %omen(s rights organi*ations and
%omen(s funds around the %orld$
"#pand Global Funds Wor$ to Include
%ther Functions and Services&
Almost all groups indicated that there is a
huge need for educational, policy, and
consulting %or2 in the movement, and that
perhaps Global Fund should respond to this
need by e+panding its mission to include
these functions and services$ Most groups
11
thought that the educational programs
should target individual and institutional
donors, as %ell as E$'$ ; based policy
advocacy groups$ /otential consumers of
Global Fund(s %omen(s rights e+pertise
included for policy-ma2ers and ma>or
funders$
5nitially, there %as a lot of support for this
idea as meeting participants began to
reali*e Global Fund(s po%er and influence
in the global %omen(s movement$ Ho%ever,
as the day progressed, people began to
?uestion Global Fund(s capacity to ta2e on
for-profit consulting services and even if this
%as a strategic move for the movement in
general$ 5f the Global Fund(s primary
responsibility is to be the leading
grantma2er for the field of %omen(s rights
and movement-building, the Global Fund
can support this %or2 through its
grantma2ing$ As )ydia Alpi*ar stated, the
Global Fund is already in a 4uni?ue position6
in the philanthropic community$ /erhaps
the Global Fund should start thin2ing ho% it
can further strengthen this position by
improving its e+isting %or2 in the areas of
grantma2ing and resource mobili*ation$
The overarching ob>ective for e+panding
Global Fund(s mission %as to increase
money and resources for the global
%omen(s movement$ An underlying
assumption is that in order for the global
%omen(s movement to advance and receive
more funding, donors and other
sta2eholders must be educated on the
significance of funding %omen(s rights
groups and the far-reaching effects of
gender ine?uality and discrimination$
"nhance and Further 'evelop (in$a)es and
*ollaborative Relationships
Almost all groups referenced this theme$
Generally, the groups assumed that the
Global Fund should be more proactive in
enhancing and developing lin2ages and
collaborative relationships bet%een
grantees, grantees and donors, and
grantees and policy-ma2ers$ 5t %as felt that
that the Global Fund is in the position to 1=
understand and access information and
2no%ledge related to the status of %omen(s
movements and the %or2 of %omen(s
groupsM and != navigate global %omen(s
movements to create those lin2ages and
net%or2ing opportunities$
Raise +isibilit o! the Global Fund,
Womens Ri)hts Issues, and the Global
Womens Movement
Most groups reported raising the visibility of
the Global Fund for Women, %omen(s rights
issues and the global %omen(s movement
as an integral outcome for the strengthening
of the infrastructure of %omen(s
movements$ 'ome felt that Global Fund(s
media and communications function should
be e+panded and utili*ed more effectively
to%ards this outcome$ 'ome potential
communications pro>ects included national
and international a%areness-building
campaigns and donor education programs$
E$'$-based and global audiences %ere
designated as target mar2ets for these
campaigns$
,aising visibility seems li2e an intuitive
action to underta2e if the overall ob>ective is
to advance %omen(s human rights and the
global %omen(s movement$ Ho%ever, li2e
the 4gro%th6 issue, perhaps this should be
approached from a purposeful and
deliberate standpoint, one that ma2es sense
to the Global Fund, as a leading grantma2er
in the field of %omen(s human rights$

*ON*L0%ION
The all-day meeting %as inundated %ith
ahaI moments and paradigm shifts in the
thin2ing and understanding around Global
Fund(s position and role in the global
%omen(s movement$ The morning
/o%er/oint presentation, %ith its e+ternal
environmental scan, presented a frame%or2
%hich helped meeting participants
conceptuali*e Global Fund(s responsibility
and role in the global %omen(s movement$ 5t
helped meeting participants ta2e o%nership
and responsibility of Global Fund for
Women(s po%er, influence, and e+pertise$
While the Nho%6 of gro%th %as not e+plicitly
addressed during the day, meeting
participants %ere able to imagine a forum
%here gro%th could occur in strategic and
manageable %ays$ 9y the end of the day
there %as the shared understanding that
Global Fund is very influential in the global
%omen(s movement and therefore also
directive, and that Global Fund for Women(s
resource mobili*ation and grantma2ing
potential possess e+traordinary potential for
even more influence and advancement of
%omen(s rights globally$
