  2. Launch strategic alliances with civic actors who are advocating issues of concern;<\/li>\n

  4. Prepare young women for assuming leadership roles and increasing their civic engagement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Applications will be accepted only from organizations that have previously operated in Kuwait, or have personnel who have previously worked in Kuwait.<\/p>\n

    Successful applications will complement the ongoing work to build skills for women candidates at Kuwait University Women’s Research and Studies Center.<\/p>\n
