What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

Project activities should strengthen women’s economic security by supporting women’s Chambers of Commerce (Chambers) and business associations through locally designed and led responses to building gender-responsive institutions. This project may also partner with existing Chambers and business associations not solely focused on supporting women members, but are conducting advocacy on behalf of women entrepreneurs and women in business to address member-identified concerns, potentially resulting in legal, social and/or institutional change through targeted advocacy.
