Launch of GFF x CIVIC VOICES

The GFF × CIVIC Platform, a partnership between the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF) and the World Bank Group’s Civil Society and Social Innovation Alliance (CIVIC), is investing in stronger, more meaningful, and sustainable engagement of civil society and youth-led organizations in health systems and decision-making to improve health and nutrition outcomes for women, children, and adolescents. The VOICES Consortium (Voices Organizing for Inclusive Civic Engagement and Sustainability) brings together PATH, the African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP), and the Organisation of African Youth (OAY) to work across 22 GFF partner countries in Africa. VOICES will strengthen the capacity and influence of civil society and youth-led organizations to advance advocacy and accountability around domestic resource mobilization for women’s, children’s, and adolescent health and nutrition.

Join PATH on September 15, 2026 for the official launch of GFF x CIVIC VOICES and a new funding opportunity for local civil society and youth-led organizations.
