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.

  • Leadership Recognition as a Catalyst for Broader Impact
    methodology: agent-of-change_recognition
    By recognizing transformative leaders through awards and public platforms, we elevate role models who inspire wider societal change, because visible examples of service and innovation motivate replication and mobilize broader engagement in global development.
  • Media Engagement for Social Norm Change
    methodology: media-for-social-change
    By collaborating with media and entertainment leaders, we shift public perceptions and reduce gender stereotyping, because media narratives have outsized influence on social norms and can accelerate cultural change toward gender equity more broadly than policy alone.
  • Multi-Stakeholder Partnership Convening
    methodology: multi-stakeholder_convening
    By convening diverse stakeholders across governments, private sector, and civil society, we catalyze innovative partnerships that pool resources and expertise to address global challenges and advance sustainable development, because collective action generates more durable and scalable solutions than isolated efforts.
  • Shift from Aid to Investment
    methodology: aid_to_investment
    By building cross-sector partnerships that transition development financing from traditional aid to investment models, we generate sustainable economic growth and local ownership, because investment — unlike aid — creates accountable, scalable, and market-integrated solutions that align with the UN 2030 Agenda.
  • Youth and Marginalized Group Empowerment through Inclusive Participation
    methodology: inclusive_participation
    By ensuring meaningful participation of young people and marginalized groups such as persons with disabilities in global development processes, we improve the relevance and effectiveness of programs, because inclusion strengthens legitimacy, innovation, and equity in achieving sustainable development outcomes.
