Description
The U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Brazil is seeking applications from qualified Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Educational Institutions, and other qualified organizations for a Grant to implement the program entitled ‘Academy for Women Entrepreneurs’. The program aims to teach women around the world to become successful entrepreneurs. The implementing partner will be expected to support AWE from development through graduation and beyond. The training program will be done in 10 facilitated sessions using the Portuguese version of the 10,000 Women curriculum on Coursera.
• The program will help 90 women expand and grow their businesses in three cities (Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo).
• The program will provide resources for women to engage in U.S-style online education with guided facilitation, enrichment activities, and localization from ECA alumni, Brazilian women business leaders, or other local partners.
• The program will foster networks that support participants’ access to peer-to-peer mentorship, business partners, and scaling opportunities with businesses in the region and in the United States.
