WEE-DiFine Webinar Series Part 2: Developing Competitive Proposals and Budgets

Women’s Economic Empowerment and Digital Finance (WEE-DiFine) is a research initiative aimed at generating a comprehensive body of evidence on the causal impact of digital financial services on women’s economic empowerment. Based at the BRAC Institute of Governance and Development (BIGD) in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the Initiative supports rigorous research projects exploring this theme in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Following the success of the first Request for Proposals, WEE-DiFine is excited to announce the launch of its second Request for Proposals.

This webinar will share insight on what the WEE-DiFine team looks for when reviewing technical proposals and budgets. Topics covered will include eligibility criteria, requirements for each category of funding, preferred proposal characteristics, eligible and ineligible expenses, and competitive distribution of funds. Time will also be allotted for individual questions.
