Office of Global Womens Issues (S/GWI) has announced a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) outlining concepts and capacity to manage a program that will partner equitably with a range of local, women’s civil society organizations in no fewer than two countries and regions to advance women’s economic empowerment (WEE) by reducing barriers to women’s participation in the economy.

Goals

  • To grow and sustain the leadership of women’s civil society organizations in improving the enabling environment for women’s full and free participation in the economy, including through support to women-led advocacy for legal, regulatory, and policy reform; implementation of such reform; accountability for such reforms; and reduction of social and cultural barriers.

Objectives

Applicants should propose objectives that:

  • Support an enabling environment for WEE: Advance WEE efforts to improve the enabling environment for women’s full and free participation in the economy in no fewer than two countries and regions. This may include support for advocacy and programmatic efforts targeting the development of legal, regulatory, and policy reform; implementation of such reform; accountability for reforms; and reduction of social and cultural barriers to promote an enabling environment for women’s full and free participation in the economy.
  • Support to women’s civil society organizations: Partner equitably with a range of local women’s civil society organizations advancing locally designed WEE efforts, including but not limited to organizational capacity-building and technical assistance to advance civil society organizations’ core growth and sustainability.

Funding Information
