Following a call for proposals in September 2016, grants totalling €5.2 million to promote Gender Equality were awarded to 18 projects. The projects will be delivered over a three year period in multiple locations across Ireland by Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), locally-based community groups, and others, who were successful following an open Call for Proposals for funding under the PEIL 2014 – 2020.
