–JE M’ENGAGE !
XOESE, the Francophone Women’s Fund in collaboration with FFC (the Congolese Women’s Fund) has launched JE M’ENGAGE!
The main mission of the JE M’ENGAGE! campaign is to increase the commitment of Francophone actors and ensure their active contribution to the actions and initiatives of the Action Coalitions set up within the framework of the Generation Equality Forum.
Since the launch of this campaign in May 2021, XOESE has succeeded in building 12 national coalitions from 12 countries composed of more than 1265 organizations that have initiated various advocacy activities in their respective countries.
