This grant, offered by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) in partnership with the Secretary’s Office of Global Women’s Issues (S/GWI), is for projects promoting women’s political, economic, and social advancement in Iraq. Aligning with the U.S. National Action Plan for Women, Peace and Security, it targets two key areas. The first aims to advance women’s political participation by enhancing the competitiveness of candidates for the 2014 national elections and providing post-election support. This initiative expects $1,000,000 for an 18-month program. The second objective focuses on economic empowerment, connecting 400 women to mid-to-high level employment in sectors like banking or hospitality, requiring formal Memoranda of Understanding. This program anticipates $1,200,000 for an 18-22 month duration.
