DAFF Women Leading Change Grants round now open
As part of the Australian Government’s Australia’s Farming Future initiative, the Women Leading Change (WLC) grants round offers support to stage events that will build the leadership and representative capacity of women in primary industries—to strengthen primary industry productivity and build rural, regional and remote community resilience to a changing climate.
Under the WLC grants round, the government will provide funding of up to $50,000 for eligible events and will seek either a cash and/or in-kind contribution from successful applicants.
WLC offers support to stage events for women living and working in rural, regional and remote Australia that:
- build and share knowledge and experience
- increase access to planning tools and resources
- develop leadership and management skills
- develop programs to increase participation in agriculture, fisheries and forestry industries
- develop skills to contribute more effectively to government and industry decision making
- build networks among rural, regional and remote Australians.
This grant closes 5:00pm Monday 16 February 2009
