How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Girl-Centered Systemic Changemethodology: girl-centered_developmentBy centering girls in programming and decision-making, we produce sustainable development and equity because girls' empowerment disrupts discriminatory norms and creates ripple effects across communities and generations.
- Integrated Rights-Based Advocacymethodology: rights-based_systemic_changeBy connecting local programs with advocacy and systemic change efforts, we produce lasting impact because addressing root causes—such as discriminatory laws and norms—amplifies program effectiveness and transforms the environments in which girls live.
- Locally Led Power-Shifting Modelmethodology: locally_led_developmentBy shifting power and decision-making to local communities and partners, we produce more effective and sustainable outcomes because locally embedded actors have deeper contextual understanding and legitimacy, enabling adaptive and accountable action.
- Participatory Co-Creation with Evidence Integrationmethodology: participatory_and_evidence-based_approachBy co-creating solutions with girls, young people, and communities and using evidence to guide action, we produce more relevant and effective interventions because participation increases ownership and evidence ensures fidelity and scalability.
