Joint Gender Fund 2.23

The Joint Gender Fund (JGF) is a collaborative funding mechanism consisting of Irish Aid, Ford Foundation and Hivos (as primary contributors), working in partnership with DG Murray Trust, DFATD and USAID. It was established in 2008 and emerged from a commitment to enhance the impact of funding in the field of gender-based violence (GBV) in South Africa. The Fund works to build cohesion and strengthen the sector’s response to GBV by helping to bolster the capacity for more integrated, comprehensive and transformative approaches.
