USAID MujerProspera / WomanProsper Winners Announcement Event: “Advancing Gender Equality in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras”

Thursday, May 26, 2022 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
Online-Only

Please join U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Samantha Power, for a virtual event featuring the winners of the MujerProspera Challenge, a regional cohort promoting women’s equality in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. It is part of the Biden-Harris Administrator’s efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration.

In this event, USAID's Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment Hub will showcase the nine winners of the MujerProspera Challenge who will receive $5 million USD in funding and technical assistance. The winning organizations bring innovative and impactful solutions to promote women’s agency, safety, and access to power, resources, fair and stable long-term income, and labor protections in the workplace. Their intersectional approaches will root out systemic barriers and discrimination, addressing the needs of women and girls in all their diversity, particularly those from marginalized and underserved populations.

The event will be moderated by Ryan C. Berg, Senior Fellow, of the CSIS Americas Program. The event will also include a panel discussion with select awardees to talk about their approach to innovation. The panel will be moderated by Michael Camilleri, Senior Advisor to the Administrator and Executive Director of USAID’s Northern Triangle Task Force, and will delve deeper into these organization’s innovative approaches and tools for responding to the fundamental challenge of promoting women’s economic security, employment and entrepreneurship.

Simultaneous English and Spanish language interpretation will be available at this event.

Evento de anuncio de los ganadores de MujerProspera/WomanProsper de USAID: fomentando la igualdad de género en El Salvador, Guatemala y Honduras

Acompañe a la Administradora de la Agencia de los Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (USAID), Samantha Power, el 26 de mayo a las 11:00 a.m. (Hora del Este), al evento virtual de los ganadores del Challenge MujerProspera, una cohorte regional que fomenta la igualdad de la mujer en El Salvador, Guatemala y Honduras. Esta iniciativa forma parte de los esfuerzos de la Administración Biden-Harris para abordar las causas fundamentales de la migración irregular.

En este evento, el Centro de Igualdad de Género y Empoderamiento de la Mujer de USAID presentará a los nueve ganadores del Desafío MujerProspera, que recibirán 5 millones de dólares en financiación y asistencia técnica. Las organizaciones ganadoras aportan soluciones innovadoras e impactantes para promover la capacidad de acción de las mujeres, su seguridad, acceso al poder, recursos, ingresos justos y estables a largo plazo, y los avances en la protección laboral. Sus enfoques interseccionales eliminarán las barreras y discriminación sistémicas, atendiendo a las necesidades de las mujeres y las niñas en toda su diversidad, especialmente las de las poblaciones marginadas y desatendidas.

El evento será moderado por Ryan C. Berg, Investigador Principal del Programa de las Américas del CSIS. El acto incluirá también una mesa redonda con algunos de los ganadores para hablar de su enfoque de innovación. La mesa redonda estará moderada por Michael Camilleri, Asesor Principal de la Administradora y Director Ejecutivo del Grupo de Trabajo del Triángulo Norte de USAID, y profundizará en los enfoques y herramientas innovadoras de estas organizaciones para responder al reto fundamental de promover la seguridad económica, el empleo y el espíritu empresarial de las mujeres.

El evento contará con interpretación simultánea en inglés y español.

This event is made possible through cooperation with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
