The Initiative for Gender Equality and Development in Africa (IGED-Africa) is a women-led, Ghanaian-registered non-governmental organization with a regional focus on advancing gender equality, human rights, and inclusive development across Africa.

IGED-Africa recognizes that sustainable change requires collaboration across sectors and levels. The organization connects grassroots realities with national, regional, and international advocacy spaces, ensuring that the experiences of women, girls, and marginalized communities inform policy dialogue, legal reform, and institutional action.

IGED-Africa’s work is rooted in the belief that sustainable development cannot be achieved without addressing the systemic inequalities that limit the rights, opportunities, safety, participation, and economic security of women, girls, and marginalized groups.
