On behalf of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Compton Foundation, ECafrique is pleased to award USD$300,000 for work on mainstreaming emergency contraception (EC) in Africa over the next two years. 

The grants are intended to: 1) increase access to EC across Africa by supporting projects intended to introduce, scale-up or mainstream the method; and 2) build the capacity of African non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to design, implement and evaluate successful mainstreaming projects.

In May/June, 6 grantees were invited to attend an international proposal-development workshop (in April or May 2007).  Letters of interest were expanded into full project proposals.  Funding will be awarded on a competitive basis to this pool in July ranging from $25,000 to $30,000. ECafrique will offer technical and financial support to the grantees throughout the life of their project, typically one year in duration.
