The Kilimanjaro Initiative is a rural women’s mobilisation from across Africa towards an iconic moment at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro in October 2016. With access to and control over land and natural resources as an entry point, four regional caravans are expected to depart simultaneously from the North, South, East and West, culminating in a mass African rural women’s assembly and a symbolic ascent by a delegation of women. The women plan to proclaim a charter of principles and demands specifically on women’s access to and control over their land.
