Description/notes
Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF) is one of the largest national grant-making organisations in Bangladesh disbursing funds and capacity-building support for human rights and governance work within the country. With massive experiences of handling partnerships with more than two hundred PNGOs for the last 17 years, MJF has been striving to build capacities of poor and marginalised people in Bangladesh to demand basic services and raise voices against rights violations. MJF also works with public institutions to ensure their responsiveness towards marginalised people. (website)
