Over the last year we received an increasing number of requests for support from a growing number of partners. Fundraising support has proved to be the main strength of Rights Initiative. Essentially this is consultancy type of work. Therefore, the board decided to transform the foundation into a social enterprise. Our mission remains to increase the resources of civil society activists to advocate for economic and social rights. Rights Initiative will continue to provide fundraising co-creation services on a ‘non-profit’ basis to organizations in the global South.

Since its establishment Rights Initiative co-created proposals with a combined approved value of 9.3 million Euro for over 20 African organizations promoting economic and social rights!! #impact Funds are directly received by our partners from 7 different European governments and US foundations. Our approval rate is over 60%. #results Our overhead is less than 1%. #shiftthepower

I highly recommend Rights Initiative, a trusted and appreciated partner. We at the Tax Justice Network Africa have worked with Rights Initiative to develop our resource mobilization strategy and strategic plan, two instruments  critical to our organization’s sustainability. During our engagement we experienced Paul, the founder, as a reliable, passionate, knowledgeable, and results driven professional. We can always count on Rights Initiative when it comes to quality and timely delivery of assignments.

The partnership between PRAKARSA and Rights Initiative is great. Rights Initiative did very well in facilitate support in the area of institutional strengthening, especially on identifying donors and co-creating project proposals. PRAKARSA benefits in terms of timely submission of project proposals. I welcome to continue the partnership in the future with tangible benefits as expected.
