\nIn April 2023, the DBJ, through BIGEE introduced two new areas under the IGF programme.\u202f The new areas are:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n

\n\u202f \u202f \u202f \u202f \u2013<\/span>\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f<\/span>Gender Inclusiveness \u2013 women-led\/owned businesses<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n

\nThese two new areas are welcomed addition to our other areas (productive sectors).\u00a0 The expansion to include these two new areas of focus is as a result of additional funding obtained from the European Union (EU) that was negotiated by the Inter-American Bank (IDB).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n

\nCriteria for Gender Inclusiveness Projects \u2013 Women-led\/owned businesses<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\n

\nGender inclusiveness transcends mere equality.\u202f It is the notion that all services, opportunities and establishments are open to all people and that male and female stereotypes do not define societal roles and expectations.\u202f Studies have shown<\/span> that supporting female-led\/owned businesses makes good economic sense, as these companies generate wider economic, social and environmental benefits. <\/span>Supporting <\/span>female-led\/owned businesses can contribute to raising female labour force participation, thereby helping to reduce poverty risks. At the same time, framework conditions that make it easier for women to have professional careers, or establish and run a business successfully, are key to seeing more female-led businesses emerge and thrive.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n

\n\u00a0<\/span>\n

\nApplicants applying under these new areas should clearly show that the business is either women-owned or women-led and that the project is innovative.\u202fIt would be beneficial to show how the project will enhance women\u2019s economic status or inclusion.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n

\nClimate Mitigation\/Resilience Projects<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\n

\nClimate resilience is the ability to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to hazardous events, trends, or disturbances related to climate.\u202f Improving climate resilience involves assessing how climate change will create new, or alter current climate-related risks, and taking steps to better cope with these risks.\u202f\u202fApplicants applying under this window should clearly illustrate climate mitigation and\/or adaptation measures through innovation in technologies and\/ or methods that promote the reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and\/or minimization of climate related vulnerabilities.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\n
