BAKU — Azercell, a leading mobile operator, has initiated a competition for social projects aimed at expanding women’s roles in public and economic spheres, part of its commitment to “Easing connectivity, empowering lives!”

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the competition is designed to foster women’s participation by enhancing their skills in various disciplines including entrepreneurship, technology, legal and financial literacy, and promoting health-conscious lifestyles. The focus is also on creating sustainable projects that incorporate digital technologies, promote inclusivity, and improve living standards.

Priority will be given to initiatives that offer innovative solutions and demonstrate potential for long-term impact. A panel of Azerbaijani experts will evaluate the submissions to ensure a fair and transparent selection process. Two projects will ultimately be awarded grants of up to 5,000 AZN each for implementation, with the possibility of variable grant amounts based on the evaluation of the projects. The competition is open exclusively to non-governmental and non-profit organizations and will accept proposals in Azerbaijani from August 27 to September 10, 2024.

Azercell expressed its best wishes to all participants, emphasizing the opportunity to make a significant impact on the societal role of women through innovative and practical solutions.
