Subject: Fund for Gender Equality – Call for Proposals
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the first Call for Proposals for the Fund for Gender Equality. The Fund is a multi-donor initiative dedicated to the advancement of high-impact gender equality programmes that focus on women’s economic and/or political empowerment at local and national levels. Launched with an initial contribution of US$65 million (EUR 50 million) from the Government of Spain, the Fund will accept applications (online only) from 15 – 30 September 2009.
Please visit http://www.unifem.org/partnerships/fund_for_gender_equality/ to find the Guidelines and Application Form for the Fund for Gender Equality. It is being circulated widely to non-governmental, governmental and multilateral partners in Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish. For further details, please review the website’s Frequently Asked Questions or contact Ana María Enríquez, Programme Manager, at fund.genderequality@unifem.org.
We hope that you will help us disseminate this link to organizations and agencies whose work aligns with the goals detailed in the Call. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Ines Alberdi
Executive Director, UNIFEM
