For several projects I am involved with, I am now trying to compile an up-to-date list of various (preferably non-governemental) sources of funding for innovative and #CapacityBuilding initiatives.
If you are/know one of them, please kindly let me know. Also, please let me know if you can recommend an existing list of this kind.

The outcome of this research will be published for public benefit.
So happy to have this translation out in the world. It provides really important perspectives on #feministeconomics, #alternativeeconomies #socialreproduction, #care & #carework, #degrowth and a just #transition #ecofeminism, & #feminist struggles more generally.
