    In order to foster the political and economic empowerment of women in situations of displacement, the BMZ launched the “Action Network on Forced Displacement – Women as Agents of Change” in October 2020. The global Network serves as a platform for exchange and makes recommendations to policymakers, the private sector, civil society and local players.

    The Action Network wants to support local projects. To that end, the BMZ works together with the United Nations Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund (WPHF). Via WPHF, it is possible to finance projects to foster the political and economic empowerment of women in situations of displacement.

    The members of the Network have decided jointly to make Yemen, Colombia and Nigeria pilot countries for the first projects.
