CALL FOR PROPOSALS - Funding
Leadership and Opportunities for Women (FLOW 2016-2020)
The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Netherlands aims to improve the position of
women and girls in the world. Hence, another round of funding has now been made
available: Funding Leadership and Opportunities for Women (FLOW).
Deadline
for submitting FLOW proposals is 31 August 2015
Worldwide,
progress has been made in attaining women’s rights and equal treatment. Many
countries have abolished discriminatory laws and criminalized violence against
women. They have made investments in health and education, and the economic
participation of women has increased. In general, however, the pace of change
is slow. In some countries and sectors, progress is at a standstill or has even
been reversed. Despite major regional and contextual differences, experts agree
that there is no country where progress towards gender equality is either
assured or irreversible.
FLOW funds
programs in low- and lower-middle income countries + China, Malaysia, Thailand,
Jordan, Algeria, Iran, Lebanon, Libya and Tunisia. 93 million EUR is available
for the period of 2016-2020, for programs aiming at:
1. Combatting
violence against women;

by women in politics and public administration; and

economic participation and self-reliance
Deadline
for submitting FLOW proposals is 31 August 2015.
