The Dutch Government’s MDG3 Fund is supporting the participation of under-resourced participants at Count Me In! A scholarship fund has been established to supplement the funding received from the Dutch Government's MDG3 fund, and to enable more participants to receive conference support -  donors and conference participants are encouraged to contribute to this fund. Scholarships will allow more women from marginalised communities to both participate in and contribute to Count Me In!
