What the grant funds

Polls show that in BiH belief that women should have equal rights with men has declined by 20% since 2015. We want to reverse that trend and to make women equal participants in economic, civil, and political life in BiH. This program supports NGO efforts to reach that goal. We encourage ideas that are creative and engage citizens at the grass roots level in improving their communities.
