Carol Bellamy Leadership Award (Fellowship Program)

In April 2023, the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund (GCERF) launched the second edition of a fellowship program in honor of its founding Board Chair, Carol Bellamy, a pioneer in women’s and girls’ rights. The Carol Bellamy Leadership Award aims to provide support to local and grassroots organisations led by women, or those working towards women’s empowerment, in the field of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) in GCERF partner countries.

The fellowship is intended for women from communities vulnerable to violent extremism, with the goal of providing them with the necessary tools to create and leverage socio-economic opportunities and flourish.  Through this second round of fellowship grants, GCERF is providing cash awards to support the work of 10 organisations in seven countries.
