• Is operational (already distributing a product or service) and has been operational for at least a minimum period (threshold-based).
• Has at least a minimum level of earned revenue (USD equivalent; grants/contributions excluded).
• Has at least a minimum number of full-time paid employees.

• Works in Women’s Economic Empowerment and/or Climate Resilience (e.g., clean energy, clean water, climate-smart agriculture).
