The project will build the economic resilience and skills capacity of women and adolescent girls aged 16 and older to enable them to enter the labor force and obtain economic security. WHA intends to issue one award not to exceed $1,973,359 in FY 2023 Gender Equity and Equality Action (GEEA) Economic Support Funds (ESF) for a project period of up to three years. The project should start in October 2024, with exact start dates to be determined. The CUWEE project will be administered by WHA's Office of Policy Planning and Coordination (PPC) and is funded under the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (WHA) Grant Programs (including Energy and Climate Partnership for the Americas), CFDA Number 19.750.
