New The Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) call for proposals

Dear Colleagues,  

The Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) has launched a new call for project proposals on the theme of “Policy Analysis on Growth and Employment – PAGE-II” in developing countries.  The call focuses on the following priority issues:

• Youth employment: supply-and demand-side constraints and related policy options
• Gender and women’s economic empowerment
• Entrepreneurship and financial inclusion
• Productive employment in rural farm and non-farm sectors: increasing labour productivity and reducing factor market imperfections
• Sectoral composition and patterns of economic growth: implications for job-creation, employment and poverty reduction

Priority is given to low-income economies, fragile and/or conflict-affected situations (LFCs) but PEP invites proposals from all developing countries.

Details about the call, eligibility and how to apply are available at www.pep-net.org/call-proposals

Submission deadline: September 13, 2017

We kindly request you to include a link to the call on your website and/or forward information about the call to your network(s) to help us reach our potential beneficiaries worldwide. Attached please find the flyer, which you can use for circulation in your networks.

Please direct all queries related to the call to info@pep-net.org.
