WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT SMALL GRANTS PROGRAM

ID: BH-004-FY2024 • Type: Posted

Description

This program supports NGO efforts to enable women as equal participants in economic, civic, and political life in BiH. Proposals that go beyond awareness building to promote action or create behavior change or institutional change will be particularly competitive. We also encourage proposals that build solidarity among women from different cities, political parties, or ethnic groups, and that support vulnerable and marginalized women in BiH.

Background
The Women’s Empowerment Small Grants Program supports NGO efforts to enable women as equal participants in economic, civic, and political life in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The program aims to result in more active engagement and equitable treatment of women in all spheres of life, such as politics, the economy, academia, and civil society in BiH. It also aims to prevent gender-based violence and all other forms of discrimination and abuse against women and to support community-based projects that improve the quality of life for women in BiH.
