Building
LGBTI Pathways will transform the quality and quantity of resources to LGBTI people around the world. This multi-year global project will identify and catalyze opportunities to increase and improve funding for LGBTI communities worldwide.
Our
Goals
The
journey
there
LGBTI Pathways will undertake a comprehensive gap analysis on the state of global funding on LGBTI issues. It will do so through regional surveys of the LGBTI movement which will produce regional analyses of movement needs and priorities. A global meta-analysis will be the final outcome of the project.
Every stage of Pathways will be movement- and donor-led and informed. For example, the regional surveys and analyses will be led by regional organizations and advised by regional steering committees selected through an open process.

About
Pathways
