What We Do?
FSEJ coordinates CSOs advancing human rights and socio-economic justice by creating platforms for engagement, unified agenda-setting, and collaborative action. This focus strengthens cohesion, expands movement reach, protects civic space, and grows grassroots and locally grounded organizations.
FSEJ delivers needs-based, consultative capacity strengthening for member organizations, including organizational development, leadership, HRD risk management, digital security, documentation, advocacy, fundraising, finance, and governance. The goal is stronger resilience, effectiveness, and sustainability in a hostile operating environment.
FSEJ anchors advocacy in evidence through research, reports, newsletters, and sustained engagement at domestic, regional, and international levels. This includes lobbying institutions, using African and UN human rights mechanisms, strategic litigation, and media engagement to advance accountability and justice.
FSEJ builds long-term financial sustainability by diversifying income through donations, sponsorships, grants, crowdfunding, events, merchandising, farming projects, and volunteer development. This supports stable resourcing for 14+ affiliate members and effective delivery of the organization's mandate.
FSEJ Impact
The organization has succeeded in building people’s capacities and equipping them with the skills, methods and knowledge needed to take actions and fight for their social, economic and political rights. We have witnessed the Foundations’ partners taking the lead in initiating campaigns; against hunger and poverty, against women abuse, for free primary education, for more state intervention in the welfare of the elderly and against evictions and land grabbing.
The FSEJ has also made a significant contribution to the development and empowerment of women – through its work and programmes it has created and held a space that has enabled women to enter into and play a role in the liberation struggle in Swaziland. The organization has also created space and opportunity for the voices and contributions of women to find their place in the communities by challenging gender stereotypes and patriarchy. There have been more and more reports of women being involved in their community struggles and more voices about gender equity.
The Foundation has managed to assemble a solid foundation of an organized grassroots people’s movement that includes organized membership based peoples associations that are in the forefront of community struggles. These associations are firmly grounded in communities and serve as organs through which people are organized and mobilized for action. The Foundation has further grown to strengthen its relationship with key political formations and the broader civil society fraternity in the country. It is also a critical player in the mass democratic movement.
