Description
1) Objective
The WYDE | Women’s Leadership Initiative is a collaborative global effort aimed at advancing women’s full and effective political participation and decision-making at all levels, especially those most often left furthest behind. Women and young women leaders remain unequally represented in decision making globally due to entrenched barriers to the full and effective participation of women in public life. Although women’s political participation has increased over the past 30 years, power imbalances remain. Globally, women constitute only 26.6 per cent of national legislators, 35.5 per cent of local government members and 22.8 of all cabinet ministers.
Over three years, this initiative seeks to address the multiple challenges to women’s participation through advocacy, networking, and transformative social norms change. The programme will leverage collective action, partnerships, coordination, knowledge, and resources at global and regional levels, and specifically through:
- i. Advocacy & Networking: Support women’s leadership through coordinated advocacy, intergenerational networking and access to knowledge and resources.
- ii. Global Knowledge Sharing: Increase and share global knowledge on women’s political participation for use by policy makers and to inform capacity building initiatives.
- iii. Social Norms Change: Promote transformative gender social norms through evidence-based advocacy and capacity building.
2) Eligibility
The lead organization must by a legally registered non-governmental organization with a proven track record in promoting women’s political participation, transforming social norms and leadership, enhancing in advocacy and movement building, or similar criteria.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
The budget range for this proposal should be $45,000 – $150,000.
5) Application
