Who We Are
Urgent Action Fund–Africa (UAF-Africa) is a feminist, pan-African rapid response Fund committed to transforming power relations through resourcing African feminists and womn’s1 human rights defenders (AWHRDs) and their formations as an act of solidarity.
About the Feminist Republik
UAF-Africa is hosting the 3rd Feminist Republik Festival (3rd FRF), set to take place in Mombasa, Kenya, from 27-30 November 2025. The Festival will be a further opportunity for AWHRDs and feminist movements to learn, link and connect while sharing on and around what regeneration looks like in the wake of rising polycrises and increased resistance to feminist organising. The 3rd edition will centre the lived realities of WHRDs from crisis contexts across the continent, unpack what feminist response to crisis means and inviting us to reflect on trauma through the lens of crisis. Through group discussions, storytelling, art, song, poetry and dance, we aim to critically engage with a critique of the systems that have never worked for us, explore transformational futures, and get re-energised and rejuvenated in the process. The festival will be designed with moments to grieve and celebrate. The healing justice research findings have also surfaced traditional healing practices that have been applied in feminist settings that we are interested in surfacing and collectively practising during the festival. The assignment UAF-Africa is seeking a dynamic and experienced rapporteur to document, capture, and reflect the essence of the Festival. The rapporteur will be responsible for capturing powerful stories, in-depth discussions, and the nuances emerging from AWHRDs as they engage with themes of crisis, trauma, healing, and collective care. The final report will include clear quotes, actionable insights, and concrete recommendations, serving as a vital resource to amplify the voices, visions, and strategies shared throughout the event.
Competences
• Strong writing and analytical skills with the ability to synthesise complex discussions into clear, compelling narratives. • Experience in feminist or social justice spaces, with a deep understanding of gender, intersectionality, and human rights.
• Excellent listening and observation skills, with the ability to capture nuance, tone, and context.
• Experience in event documentation, including live note-taking, interviews, and reporting from conferences or gatherings.
• Cultural sensitivity and emotional intelligence are significant when engaging with trauma-informed or healing-centred conversations.
• Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and to respect consent and confidentiality protocols.
• Strong coordination and time management skills, with the ability to meet deadlines and manage multiple documentation formats.
• Proficiency in English (Portuguese, Arabic and French, if relevant), with clear communication skills.
