Insights to Action - Convergent Action for Girls & Women: Emerging lessons from the field

The lives of girls and women are multi-dimensional, comprised of complex and interrelated aspirations, needs and responsibilities. However, development programs often treat girls and women as uni-dimensional, providing services in silos that meet one need at a time and do not engage girls and women in a way that is empowering. By serving girls and women through siloed services, development programs fail to achieve optimal results and efficiencies, missing opportunities that have the potential to leverage changes that go beyond any one sector and can lead to both individual empowerment and broader social change. Join us to discuss the complexities and benefits of bringing together resources, innovations and systems across sectors to better serve girls and women.
