The Women & Rivers Grassroots Accelerator was designed to catalyze the critical efforts of women river defenders who have stepped forward to protect free-flowing rivers and the lands, forests and territories they sustain. This program builds on the movement started at the 2019 Women and Rivers Congress, where 100 women from more than 30 countries came together to celebrate the fundamental role women play in protecting and stewarding freshwater resources, as well as to spur collective action to challenge the deep-rooted, gender inequities that women face in safeguarding rivers and river ecosystems.
The Accelerator is designed for women leaders with an existing project who are looking to strengthen, scale or replicate their solution, initiative, or campaign.
The program will take place between September - December, 2022.
