Announcing Secretary Clinton's Innovation Award for the Empowerment of Women and Girls.
Secretary Clinton announced the Secretary's Innovation Award for the Empowerment of Women and Girls on April 28, 2010. The Secretary's Innovation Award is open to all Indonesians. The award seeks to find and bring to scale the most pioneering approaches to the political, economic and social empowerment of women and girls around the globe. Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the award is part of the State Department's continuing emphasis on public-private partnerships, and is administered by its Office of Global Women's Issues. The award, and the office, are founded on the premise that the major economic, security, governance and environmental challenges of our time cannot be solved without the full participation of women at all levels of society.
This award seeks to find and bring to scale the most pioneering approaches to the political, economic and social empowerment of women and girls around the globe. Each year, two awardees will be selected by a prominent panel of jury and will receive up to $500,000 to expand on their innovations. Concept papers can be submitted either by individuals or by non-governmental organizations. There are no restrictions as to citizenship or country of residency.
How to Apply
Please submit a concept paper that describes innovations that have proven to have a positive impact on the lives of women and girls politically, socially, or economically.
