The Zovighian Partnership is honored to be commissioned to design and manage a unique program and grant for civil society organizations in Lebanon working hard to ensure the economic empowerment of women.
A ZP client and the ZP Public Office have joined forces to launch a long-term grant focused on programs to strengthen the economic potential of women in Lebanon and unleash their power to transform our country.
This is an invitation for locally-registered growth and early-stage organizations to join forces. It is a pleasure to announce that the third call for proposals of this grant will go live, effective July 19, 2022.
