Women’s Empowerment Through Economic Inclusion

SCA seeks to fund an expandable regional pilot project in South Asia focusing on women's empowerment through economic advancement. Targeting women owned small and medium enterprises, assistance should incorporate lessons learned, and should be tailored to address local needs and take advantage of local momentum. Areas of assistance likely may include: strengthening the capacity of women business owners, support for regulatory and tax reforms, increasing access to finance, and increasing access to local, regional and global procurement markets and technology needed to sustain and grow businesses.
