9:00  to 10:30 AM EDT

Many of you have started asking about the practicalities of implementing cash grants to cover informal workers. There is a never a one size fits all solution, but you may be interested to hear Ugo Gentilini (World Bank) on the topic of Basic Income in this upcoming webinar on socialprotection.org.

Hi everyone, this message is to let you know that we uploaded new Publications in our FSMBO site.
We selected these guides from 'Funds For NGOs' to help you research, meet and follow-up with the potential donors for your organization. 
Included in the publications list is a Guide on grant opportunities for projects focused on Women and Women's Empowerment in 2019.
