Programs
Awid forum - the 15th awid international forum is a global convening that brings together organizations and leaders advancing gender equality. It provides a unique, inclusive space where participants from around the world, especially those from the global south discuss themes related to gender equality and women's rights, share best practices and strengthen collaborations. The forum fosters cross-regional learning, innovation, and collective action to expand rights, strengthen movements, and advance equitable, sustainable development for all. Participants leave with renewed energy, stronger networks, and actionable strategies to drive meaningful change in their local and global contexts.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $20M to $32M (+63%).
