Count Me In! (CMI!)

Count Me In! (CMI!) is a global consortium that has been active since 2016. It consists of global feminist organisations and funders based in the Global North and the Global South. Mama Cash leads the consortium in close collaboration with JASS, CREA, AWID, UAF, UAF- Africa and two strategic partners WO=MEN and Red Umbrella Fund. The members and two strategic partners came together to leverage their collective power, skills and expertise to establish a strategic and political feminist partnership. This partnership has coordinated over 1000 initiatives to strengthen Women Human Rights Defenders, Women's Rights Organisations and feminist movements to lobby and advocate for their human rights, build collective power, hold decision-makers accountable, and change laws, policies and social norms. Between 2016 and 2020, CMI! 1.0 was a strategic partner of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) under their Dialogue and Dissent Framework and achieved significant results through this partnership. In 2021, CMI! 2.0 continues the partnership with MFA under the Power of Voices (PoV) framework, focusing on women’s rights and gender equality.
