Introduction to the Call for Proposals
The United Nations has announced a significant call for proposals aimed at enhancing women’s peace initiatives in Sudan.

By spotlighting women’s voices and contributions, the UN aims to leverage their unique insights and experiences to foster sustainable peace.
