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.
