USAID is interested in organizations experienced in promoting gender equity, creating job opportunities for women, and implementing innovative, localized programming. Key inquiries include organizational experience in overcoming gender barriers, opportunities for women's economic participation, and efforts related to psychosocial support. This outreach reflects USAID's commitment to enhancing the socio-economic status of women in Northeast Syria and developing effective partnerships for this goal.
