Following the webinar on Interrogating Feminist Foreign Policies from an African Feminist Perspective held on the margins of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in March 2023, and the establishment of the African Feminist Collective on Feminist Informed Policies (AfiP Collective) and published Statement of Intent on Feminist Informed Policies Abroad and at Home, the AfiP Collective hosted an online conversation to reflect on the journey and developments in FFP. Memory Kachambwa, Reem Abbas, Rosebell Kagumire and Toni Haastrup explore how promises can be translated into inclusive and transformative realities for African women and marginalized populations. The webinar arose from a recognition that mainstream policy approaches have often failed to address the nuanced and complex issues faced by many socially, economically and politically marginalised in African countries.
