Comic Relief partners with the UK Government—formerly through DFID, now FCDO—to drive lasting impact across Africa. Together, we’ve co-funded bold initiatives supporting health, education, the empowerment of women and girls and strengthening civil society.
Highlights of our Collaboration:
Common Ground Initiative: Invested in UK-based African Diaspora and grassroots organisations creating real, sustainable change for disadvantaged communities.
Maanda Initiative: Transformed lives of over 500,000 women and girls in sub-Saharan Africa by strengthening access to health, education, leadership, and economic opportunity.
All in, All Learning!: Helped thousands of children access quality education and build stronger school systems.
Shifting the Power (2020–2030): A decade-long commitment to amplifying civil society voices across the Global South. Find out more about this ground breaking initiative here.
