This program, offered by the Women’s Empowerment Small Grants Program, aims to support Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in their efforts to empower women in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The grant specifically focuses on enabling women’s equal participation across economic, civic, and political spheres. Highly competitive proposals will demonstrate initiatives that move beyond mere awareness-building, instead driving tangible action, fostering behavioral shifts, or instigating institutional changes. The program particularly encourages applications that cultivate solidarity among women from diverse backgrounds, including different cities, political affiliations, or ethnic groups. Furthermore, a strong emphasis is placed on projects designed to uplift and support vulnerable and marginalized women throughout BiH. This grant is for advancing gender equality and social cohesion.
