The Free and Productive Women Fund is inviting applications from women-led microbusinesses to strengthen economic autonomy through technical assistance, business development support, and productive asset delivery.
The focus areas, of this programme include strengthening women’s economic autonomy, supporting women heads of household, enhancing microbusiness development, promoting productive activities with value-added processes, providing technical and financial strengthening support, encouraging knowledge exchange among women entrepreneurs, and improving productive capacity through the delivery of productive assets. The programme also focuses on inclusion of women classified in SISBEN IV groups A, B, and C, and supports community, social, and territorial participation.
The Microbusiness Route includes a structured intervention process consisting of diagnosis, preparation of a strengthening plan, technical assistance, virtual support activities, knowledge-sharing opportunities, and formulation of an investment plan for productive assets. The programme supports women-led businesses involved in transformation, processing, manufacturing, or specialized service provision activities.
Selected beneficiaries will receive technical assistance covering productive, commercial, financial, administrative, strategic, and economic autonomy components. Beneficiaries will also participate in virtual learning and networking spaces designed to strengthen business skills and collaboration among women entrepreneurs.
The programme provides in-kind productive assets valued at up to COP 5,620,000 per beneficiary to support the strengthening and growth of eligible microbusinesses. Monitoring and verification activities will also be conducted throughout the implementation process.
Eligible applicants include women heads of household over 18 years of age who belong to SISBEN IV groups A, B, or C and operate microbusinesses with between one and nine employees. Businesses must demonstrate at least one year of operation, participate in community or territorial networks, and be located in the prioritized municipalities defined in the call. Both formal and informal microbusinesses are eligible, provided they meet the programme requirements.
