Project name-Boosting the Rights of Individuals with Disabilities in Africa (BRIDGE-Africa)
African Women Advancing Rights & Equality (AWARE)
Contract duration-31 June 2029
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a global service provider in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development dedicated to shaping a future worth living around the world. As a public-benefit federal enterprise, GIZ supports the German Government – in particular the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) – and many public and private sector clients in achieving their objectives in international cooperation in around 120 countries.
Since 2004, GIZ has been a reliable and trusted partner of the African Union (AU) to enhance inclusive growth and sustainable development on the African continent in line with the AU’s Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want. With more than 250 staff, GIZ African Union cooperates with the AU Commission, as well as the AU’s specialised institutions and agencies, such as the Development Agency AUDA-NEPAD, at continental, regional and national level in more than 40 member states. Key areas of engagement include Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention, Governance, Sustainable Economic Growth, Health and Social Development, as well as Just Transition.
Within this framework, BMZ commissioned GIZ to implement the project African Women Advancing Rights and Empowerment (AWARE). The project aims to strengthen the capacity of the AU, its Member States, and key stakeholders to enhance the implementation of continental human rights commitments related to women’s rights. AWARE applies a gender-transformative and human rights-based approach structured around the 3Rs: Rights, Resources, and Representation, promoting women’s access to justice, economic inclusion, and participation in decision-making processes.
In parallel, BMZ commissioned the Boosting the Rights of Individuals with Disabilities in Africa (BRIDGE Africa) project. BRIDGE focuses on strengthening federations of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) and supporting the implementation of the African Disability Protocol in cooperation with the AU. The project promotes pan-African advocacy for inclusion, particularly for women and youth with disabilities, in collaboration with continental and regional partners such as the African Disability Forum (ADF) and the African Disability Alliance (ADA).
Both projects are implemented within the broader AU–German Development Cooperation framework and contribute to strengthening continental human rights mechanisms, policy implementation, and inclusive governance systems
