Centenary Awards - Programme Objectives: Local, Transformative, Female Focused UK registered charities with a strong local bias in-country were prioritised. Whilst there was no prescriptive outcome sought, projects selected for support demonstrated how their work was relevant to the local area, how it enhanced in-country capacity and capability, met local needs and maximised impact. Priority was also be given to organisations for whom the funding would be transformative and for something that would have been unlikely to be able to secure equivalent funding elsewhere. This may have been because the work in question was new and untested, was not eligible for other girls’ education funding schemes or because it would enable a scaling up of current operations. This programme has now closed. |
