Since its inception, Voice has been growing bigger, louder, and bolder as it continues to sup- port a diverse group of nearly 1400 organisations, informal groups, and networks in Africa and Asia, representing the 5 rightsholder groups and previously unreached communities and sectors. Based on cumulative targets from 2016 to 2024, Voice has now supported a total number of 523 projects or 83% of the planned 629 grants. Like 2020, the year 2021 remained a transition period for Voice, characterised by the simultaneous closing of projects from phase 1 and processing of grant approvals for the 58 newly opened calls for proposals for the extension phase. Out of the 396 phase 1 projects, only 190 had been closed by December 2021, while for the extension phase,
131 contracts were signed. These processes continued to be enormously impacted by COVID- 19 restrictions, while at the same time requiring an intensive amount of administrative work. Nevertheless, Voice continued to work flexibly and responsively with the grantee partners, given the pandemic driven realities of the Voice rightsholders. Distributing the total funds expended in phase 1 and committed in the extension phase over the types of grants now gives the following picture:
