Women who run small and medium-sized businesses are accelerators of GDP.

We have made investments over the years in building civil society.

We believe that being able to provide resources that are directed in these ways will have a positive impact.

It's crucial that the United States Government stay engaged to support these democratic transitions and democratic reforms across the region.
