What’s next
We are thrilled and hopeful for what 2022 holds for Voice! Our intention to decen- tralise the Voice team and be led by right- sholders in our governance structures has largely been fulfilled in 2021. Riding strong on these changes, we will seek to be more mindful, reflexive and trust-based in our ap- proach to grant-making, linking, learning & amplification and monitoring & evaluation. We are buoyed by the energy of the Voice community that was on full display at the first global knowledge exchange organised in February 2022. We hope to replicate more of these moments of connection and reinvigoration at regional and sub-regional events bringing together grantee partners and rightsholders with Voice. We are also excited to share with you the Voice@5
Learning Document: Journeying Towards Stronger Voices, that gathers stories, observations, and lessons from the first five years of Voice. We hope you will stay in conversation with us as we share our experience of creating a grant-making facility that centres diversity, inclusion and innovation. What we have done so far. What we have not been able to do. And most impor- tantly, what we hope to do in the future. We are also preparing to carry out the final context analysis update for the countries Voice works in and based on this, launch the final calls for proposals for Voice in the extension phase! We have already started publishing the calls and encourage you to check them out. In Cambodia, Voice is seeking to support civil society efforts to safeguard digital rights and digital citizenship. In Niger & Mali, Voice is calling out to innovators who are testing approaches to enhance inclusion for their communities of rightsholders.
Soon, we will launch the second round of the NOW-Us! Awards in 7 Voice countries. We will also continue our linking & learning efforts with a focus on enhancing the continued sustainability and viability of the efforts of our grantee partners. We will continue to explore new partnerships and maintain existing ones that enable us to strengthen systems of support for the Voice right- sholders. A lot is in store, we hope you will come along on the Voice’s onward journey to stronger voices.
