European Union

The European Union (EU) is a supranational political and economic union of 27 member states that are located
primarily in Europe.

The EU provides funding for a range of projects and programmes. It applies strict rules to ensure tight control over
how funds are used and that the money is spent in a transparent, accountable manner.

EU funding comes in many different forms:

Grants – partly funded by the EU and partly from other sources – that usually follow public announcements known
as calls for proposals.

Subsidies managed by national and regional authorities

loans, guarantees and equity as forms of financial assistance to support EU policies and programmes
Girlpower Project

Women's empowerment and achieving gender equality is essential for our society to ensure the sustainable development of a region. Many world leaders and
scholars have argued that sustainable development is impossible without gender equality and women's empowerment. Sustainable development accepts
environmental protection, social and economic development, including women's empowerment.

In Jharkhand approximately 50% of the working population in the age group of 15–49 years are women. The state has high level of illiteracy among women
and girls and are unable to create opportunities for themselves to chart their path towards growth and development. There is a need to promote awareness
among women and girls on the opportunities available to them.

The government has given priority to skill building as one of the major thrust areas for improving the status of women and foster their entrepreneurial spirit
with the support of CSOs. There is need to build capacity and support the CSOs through innovative models.

The GIRLPOWER project will fully address the global objective to strengthen the ability of Indian civil society and its organizations to
perform their role as independent agents of change, implementing actions that bring transformative change into the lives of women and
girls.

The broader activities that will be covered under the project are as follows:
5,000 women and girls trained
1,000 women social entrepreneurs
20 entrepreneur support groups
10 entrepreneur support centers Marketing Shows, Showcase Events
Network of 100 CSOs
Web Portal for showcasing women’s products
Policy dialogue between women and policymakers
Skill Certificate Courses for women
