Women's Economic Empowerment - Swabi and Khyber

UN Women is offering grants to innovative and catalytic initiatives under the “Women’s Economic Empowerment” project.

The project (WEE) will work directly with at least 1,750 women workers and women-owned businesses in two districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, namely Khyber and Swabi, mobilizing them, forming them into functioning groups, and connecting them with a range of services and resources. Efforts will also be made to train these women to maintain a mobile financial wallet through linkage with relevant service providers.

This project will incorporate Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) as a cross cutting theme. All direct women beneficiaries, multiple indirect beneficiaries and stakeholders will be exposed to training, sensitization and orientation sessions on EVAWG.
