## What the grant funds

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State are pleased to announce the fiscal year (FY) 2024 call for proposals for the first Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) cohort in Cambodia. The program was established by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) in 2019 to empower women with the knowledge, network, and access they need to launch or scale up successful businesses. Since the launch of the program, AWE has empowered more than 25,000 women entrepreneurs with nearly 100 cohorts worldwide. https://eca.state.gov/awe. AWE uses the DreamBuilder online training modules for young, emerging entrepreneurs, developed by Arizona State University’s Thunderbird School of Global Management. Please carefully follow all instructions below. This first cohort in Cambodia will target 30 women entrepreneurs with one to three years of business experience in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Non-profit organizations, civil society organizations, and U.S. government alumni organizations are encouraged to apply to design and implement the program. Applicants should assign a facilitator each regional grouping, as appropriate, to oversee the progress of the women entrepreneurs and to conduct local sessions to build their network. At the end of the program, the applicant should do a closing ceremony to highlight the success stories from the women entrepreneurs. Applicants should also source for buy in from relevant government ministries, agencies, and other stakeholders. Applicants are encouraged to conduct virtual talks by relevant businesswomen and established entrepreneurs for the AWE participants and alumni in the Indo Pacific Region in consultation with the AWE team at the U.S. Embassy. GOALS OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY The AWE is an initiative from the government of the United States to support and empower women entrepreneurs around the world. It targets women entrepreneurs to provide the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to manage and scale successful businesses. Through an inclusive learning community, women around the world have opportunities to explore the fundamentals of business, such as preparing business plans and raising capital, with the goal of building a better future for their families and communities.
