Feminist Leadership & Development
Investing in the knowledge, skills, and confidence of women and adolescent girls to engage in civic processes, influence decision-making, and hold institutions accountable.

Advancing sexual and reproductive health rights, mental wellbeing, and bodily autonomy across the life-cycle — with deliberate focus on adolescent girls and young women.
Economic Empowerment & Livelihoods
Strengthening livelihoods, economic agency, asset ownership, and financial resilience for vulnerable women — particularly those in informal economies or exiting situations of violence.
Climate Justice & Natural Resource Governance
Integrating climate vulnerability with women's rights — supporting women's leadership in climate action and strengthening community resilience across coastal communities.
Movement Building & Alliance Strengthening
Strengthening grassroots women's movements through coalition building, alliance facilitation, peer learning, and tailored capacity strengthening for member groups.
