groundWork, an environmental justice non-profit organisation operating in South Africa and increasingly across Africa, invites proposals with quotations from experienced practitioners specialising in embedding gender work in civil society organisations. Our organisation focuses on various campaigns namely: Climate & Energy Justice, Coal (including the Africa Coal Network), Environmental Health, Global Green and Healthy Hospitals, Waste, Environmental Justice Education, and Communications. groundWork works closely with community-based organisations across campaigns. As part of our directive, we host annual Environmental Justice schools for activists. At the outset, and for this initial process it will engage with groundWork’s South African partners when relevant and all groundWork staff.
We advocate for the intersection of environmental justice and gender justice. Our goal is to infuse eco-feminist principles of care into both our organisation and our collective efforts with communities. Gender, inclusion, equity and diversity will underpin intersectionality. We work with Friends of the Earth International (FoEI), our mother organisation, and their process on Gender Justice Dismantling Patriarchy.
