What the grant funds
The U.S. Embassy's Public Diplomacy and Political Sections in The Bahamas announces an open competition for not-for-profit, non-governmental, public international, and governmental organizations to submit applications to carry out a program aimed at increasing women’s involvement in politics and, in turn, increasing support for democratic policies that support women’s equal rights.
