W-GDP is a U.S. Government wide effort to economically empower 50
million women in the developing world by 2025. By investing in women,
USAID is enabling countries to progress beyond assistance by unlocking
human potential on a transformational scale. USAID will disburse
approximately three grants globally. The period of performance for each
award is up to 24 months.

The Challenge seeks to bridge the gender digital divide so that women
can fully participate in the global economy.

Winning solutions will support the W-GDP's three Pillars:

* Advance workforce development and vocational education for women
* Provide access to capital, markets and networks for women
entrepreneurs
* Remove restrictive regulatory, legal, workplace, and social barriers
to enable women in the economy

Submit applications at http://www.womenconnectchallenge.org/.

Completed applications are due by JULY 26, 2019 AT 12:00 PM ET.
