What the grant funds
The U.S. Embassy Malawi under the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a business incubator program for alumnae of the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE). The Embassy’s Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) invites proposals from non-profit organizations, civil society organizations, and U.S. government alumni organizations to design and implement an entrepreneurship program that enhances the skills and knowledge that AWE alumnae have to grow their businesses and adapt to adverse economic situations while growing a local network of women-led businesses.
