WEE-Connect was delighted to announce the official launch of its second Request for Proposals (RFP) through an engaging webinar. This session explored the transformative potential of digital connectivity, with an emphasis on health use cases, in advancing women’s empowerment across South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia.
The webinar featured:
- Keynote Address by Rachel M. Heath, who discussed the potential of the Initiative from her perspective as both a WEE-Connect board member and a WEE-Connect grantee.
- Presentation on RFP Guidelines by Kym Cole, Initiative Director of WEE-DiFine and WEE-Connect, who provided an overview of the RFP, including submission requirements, priority focus areas, and tips for a successful proposal.
Participants had the opportunity to engage through interactive Q&A sessions, live polling, and access to follow-up resources such as office hours and coaching calls to support proposal development.
This event underscored WEE-Connect’s commitment to fostering rigorous research, building inclusive knowledge hubs, and promoting equitable research partnerships.
