Call for Case Studies: AWEF Practitioner Learning Brief and Women in Market Systems Symposium
The SEEP Network and Arab Women's Enterprise Fund (AWEF) are looking for practitioners from organizations and programs that work to empower women through a market systems approach to submit case studies on this topic.
The purpose of the AWEF Practitioner Learning Brief and Women in Market Systems Symposium is to bring together promising practice and learning emerging from AWEF as well as the wider market system development (MSD) and women's economic empowerment (WEE) practitioner community and promote constructive dialogue on topics of relevance to the community of practice. The focus of the 2018/2019 AWEF Learning Agenda is how to effectively work with market actors to build the business case around women's access and agency.
Selected practitioners will:
- Benefit from the visibility of having their case study shared through SEEP’s Women’s Economic Empowerment Community of Practice and AWEF Practitioner Learning Brief.
- The top five case studies will be presented as part of the AWEF’s “Women in Market Systems Symposium”, to be held in Autumn 2019 in the Middle East. Partial funding will be made available to subsidize travel and subsistence costs.
- Benefit from other dissemination opportunities such as webinars, events and workshops.
- Build professional connections in the field.
- Exchange experiences and learn from peers working in the MSD and WEE community.
Interested practitioners are invited to submit their case studies by 14 September 2018. Authors of accepted submissions will be contacted by 1 October 2018, at which time they will be requested to provide additional information to supplement their original submission. The final practitioner brief is expected to be finalized and published by January 2019.
