Women�s Rights During Privatization Project
Project Description
The success of privatization programs throughout the ECE and the NIS is

privatization process. To influence these trends, Women, Law, and
Development International is conducting a project, funded by USAID, to
enhance the competitiveness of the privatizing economies of Poland,
Russia, Ukraine, and Bulgaria by encouraging the full participation of
women in their national economies. The project is a five-year research
and advocacy effort, with the first year being the research component.
