ÉGIDES l’Alliance internationale francopho

Published purpose

Planned to last 2 years, the project will specifically aim to increase the power of LBTQI women and girls at the national level (in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, and Senegal), at the regional level in West Africa, and at the international level by promoting the integration of the voices of West African LBTQI women and girls into international spaces of dialogue and mobilization, such as the UN system and international networks such as ILGA. The project assumes that the health and well-being of LBTQI women and girls will be improved if their power is sustained, particularly through improved provision of health services tailored to their specific needs and interests, increased capacity for collective organization, and increased exchanges at the national, regional, and international levels.
