EU and UN Women to fund Chilean initiatives for gender equality

Source:

The European Union and UN Women signed an agreement today establishing a joint fund to support projects from civil society organizations that promote gender equality in Chile. These projects will focus on three strategic areas: eliminating violence against women, women’s economic empowerment and women’s political participation and leadership.

The 520,000-euro fund, which will support up to 15 projects over the next two years, is a pilot cooperation programme aimed at strengthening the capacity of Chilean civil society organizations working on gender equality. Beneficiaries of this initiative include non-governmental organizations and networks with sectorial, regional and nationwide coverage. The first call for proposals is scheduled for the second semester of 2013.
