Every day we are challenged to end gender inequality and celebrate our impact through the hundreds of projects that are profiled in the RTI Global Gender Center. Please make sure we haven’t missed any of yours so that they can be profiled on the website. Or better yet, let me know if you want to present on your project and also with collaborating partners. Meanwhile let’s meet on August 26th for Women’s Equality Day with these two awesome USAID projects and speakers.
