About the program

European countries play a key role in advancing gender equality globally, yet funding for gender equality and feminist values through Official Development Aid (ODA) faces growing pressure. Despite being directly impacted by these decisions, (young) feminists and LGBTIQ+ individuals from the Majority World are not structurally engaged in shaping ODA or Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP). However, growing interest in FFP presents an opportunity to strengthen feminist approaches. To seize this momentum, the Walking the Talk consortium – led by Hivos (Netherlands) with Equipop (France), Restless Development (UK), and ODI Europe (Belgium) – leverages collective expertise to embed gender equality in foreign policies and ensure Majority World feminist voices shape ODA and FFP. The three-year program launched in August 2023.
