UN Women and EU Call for Proposals: WYDE Women Leadership Programme
UN Women and the European Union are calling for proposals for the WYDE Women Leadership Programme. The WYDE | Women’s Leadership Initiative is a collaborative global effort aimed at advancing women’s full and effective political participation and decision-making at all levels, especially those most often left furthest behind.
As a multi-stakeholder initiative, funded by the European Union, UN Women will support the implementation of the Generation Equality Action Coalition on Feminist Movement’s and Leadership commitments, through directly supporting civil society and women’s rights organizations, including young women’s organizations.
Based on expertise in their specific context, applications may focus on strategies including the following:
- Building women’s political leadership capacity
- Mentorship for emerging leaders
- Leverage convening powers for social norms change
- Bolster feminist movement building
- Increasing women’s political leadership
Funding details:
- Funding is available for a period of 12 – 22 month projects for a budget between minimum $45,000 – $150,000. Partner agreements are expected to be signed by 28 February 2026 at the latest.
- Project implementation will take place after partner agreements are signed and will conclude by 31 December 2027.
