💥 Womanity x GEH at SVRI 2024! 💥 We’re here at Cape Town and are excited to join the #SVRIForum24, presenting findings from our research with the Center on Gender Equity and Health at UC San Diego (GEH). Our session, happening now, “Feminist Scale: Shifting Power through Equity-Centred Action,” explores how we can scale and adapt programmes to prevent violence against women and girls (VAWG) while fostering equitable partnerships. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from practitioners, researchers, and donors working in the Global South and learn about key elements of successful programme adaptation, innovation processes that resonate with local communities, addressing power imbalances to foster equitable and values-based partnerships and accelerating ways to decolonise efforts in violence prevention.

Norms Shifting Interventions Involving Faith and Cultural Champions (FCC) In my recent posts, I’ve explored how Faith and Cultural Champions (FCC) are being used to shift norms, particularly around gender equality and health outcomes. I've learnt about these interventions as part of my work on a scoping review being conducted by the Center on Gender Equity and Health at UC San Diego. Below are links to some of these discussions and resources: https://lnkd.in/gciJercP https://lnkd.in/gUksXhgS https://lnkd.in/gGX3kmP3 https://lnkd.in/gpyWTWaR https://lnkd.in/grYjrXid I’ve attached two slides from a presentation prepared by the Center for Gender Equity and Health, showcasing 13 impactful interventions in Eastern and Southern Africa and 15 from other regions that use FCC strategies to challenge harmful norms and promote positive change. These include interventions like Act With Her-Ethiopia (AWH-E) and Men with Conscience, which have shown promise in reshaping gender norms and reducing violence. Hope this is useful for folks working on social norms interventions. #FaithAndCulture #NormsChange #GenderEquality #CulturalChampions #CommunityEngagement #SocialImpact Eastern Africa Agency, Social & Gender Norms Learning Collaborative Anglophone West Africa Social Norms & Agency Learning Collaborative Social Norms and Agency Learning Collaborative, South Asia

Effective partnerships are the backbone of impactful global initiatives. But how do we ensure these collaborations are truly equitable and transformative? Our latest research ‘Accelerating Innovation & Impact in International Development’ developed in collaboration with the Center on Gender Equity and Health at UC San Diego sheds light on this question. 🔗Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/dd45Bmpd We’ve identified key strategies for success, including:  💜 Embracing horizontal decision-making  💜 Creating inclusive and trust-building spaces  💜 Practising reflexivity to understand and balance power dynamics These findings come from in-depth research on fostering trust and collaboration across diverse contexts. Ready to transform your approach to partnerships?
