Objectives

Karibu’s primary objectives are:

• To strategically cooperate with these organizations and networks, support network-building processes, and convey the thoughts and experiences of our partners to various arenas in the Global North.

Grant Aims

The grants are aimed at:

• providing human, professional and economic resources to enable movements to continue their struggle for justice.
• providing support to networks and initiatives that work for deeper analysis, stronger representation and improved capacity for advocacy.
• establishing meeting points and joint approaches between groups in the South (South-South), as well as with groups in the North (South-North), to form global alliances in the struggle for justice.

Funding Information

• For first time grantees, Karibu rarely provides grants for more than USD 15.000,- to a project spanning over the course of one year. The final amount might be less than this amount.
