The call for proposals specifically contributes to WPHF’s Impact Area 6 of improved socio-economic recovery and political participation of women and young women in forced displacement, with the overall goal of contributing to peaceful and gender equal societies, and aligned to UN Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security.
