Transparency
We are committed to transparency in how we receive and use funding. Our editorial independence is not for sale.
Questions?
For partnership enquiries, institutional support or other funding-related questions, we would love to hear from you.
Gender Lens Africa is currently self-funded and independently owned.
Our editorial decisions are independent of political parties, governments, corporations and funders.
As we grow, we will seek grant funding from journalism and gender-equality foundations, and we will list our funders transparently on this page. Funding will not determine our editorial decisions.
