Development Goals (SDGs), including women business
owners of microenterprises;
• Increase knowledge about the SDGs and their potential
impacts on women among non-traditional audiences;
and
• Collaborate with private sector partners on all SDGs, but
SDG5 in particular; to share best practices and
innovative ideas.

and/or lead microenterprises (1-9 employees; under USD
$10,000 loan eligibility OR annual sales under $100,000).
To Enter: Applicants complete a short online template,
describing their work and linking their initiative/product to 1

the winners based on the impact on the SDGs, vision and
purpose, and clarity of the entries.
Prizes: The top winners will be recognized in September,
2018 at an event on the margins of the 2018 UN General
Assembly High-Level Week in New York.
