For 2023–2024, the GAGGA grant project was implemented under the special theme “Water Protection.” Activities focused on:

  • Protecting the sources of rivers, springs, and streams;

  • Improving water access by landscaping, constructing reservoirs, and utilizing natural formations;

  • Organizing community-driven, evidence-based advocacy initiatives for water protection at both local and national levels, leading to tangible, public-interest outcomes.

Focus Areas of the Grant Project:

The grant activities are carried out in alignment with the GAGGA project’s three interconnected pillars:

  1. Strengthen – Build the leadership, resilience, and capacity of local women in taking action to protect key ecosystems (particularly water), and mobilize and support community-based initiatives.

  2. Connect – Collaborate with women-led, gender-diverse, and LGBTQI+ organizations working on gender equality, and with community-based natural resource management collectives.

  3. Influence – Advocate for climate solutions that incorporate gender equality by engaging and influencing local and national decision-makers, investors, and donors.

Project goal

Since 2016, MONES has been a member of the Global Alliance for Green and Gender Action(GAGGA), implementing projects that promote women’s leadership in climate action and efforts to reduce the impacts of climate change. The aim of the project is to unite and strengthen local movements and women-led organizations advocating for womens rights and environmental justice, and to amplify their voice on an international level. MONES provides both financial and methodological support to women-led NGOs and groups working in this area.

Through this project, women took the lead in mobilizing their communities and resources to address local challenges, achieving the following results:

  • Increased community awareness and engagement on climate change and environmental issues through inclusive public education and outreach;

  • Implemented targeted initiatives to improve the quality and accessibility of drinking and household water for girls and women;

  • Integrated gender assessments into climate-related programs, actions, and funding decisions, and conducted advocacy with decision-makers

  • Laid the groundwork for effective collaboration between government, civil society, and private stakeholders.
