Greetings from Urgent Action Fund Asia and Pacific! We are happy to inform you that UAF A&P was launched on October 24, 2017, at the Prospera International Women’s Fund Biennial Conference in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The Urgent Action Fund for Women's Human Rights Asia and Pacific (UAF A&P) Rapid Response Grants (RRGs) were established to provide protection and support to women, non-binary (e.g., lesbian, trans) human rights defenders or organisations that face
urgent risk in their advocacy to uphold women’s human rights and human rights.

In our second year of operations, we reflected on the concept of risk, and continued to support women and non-binary human rights defenders in Asia and the Pacific as they faced newer challenges.
Our new scoping report: Where's the money for women and girls in the Pacific?
17 February 2020
In 2019, Urgent Action Fund, Asia and Pacific and Fiji Women's Fund commissioned a study to assess the funding realities for Pacific women oganisations. As a result of interviews with over 40 organisations, that included donors, funders, and grantee organisations, and research of available data from multilateral and bilateral donors active in the Pacific, this study brings together the trends, patterns and recommendations on how more resources can be mobilised for Pacific organisations working on gender and rights-based work.
