Strategic Directions

IWDA has developed a Strategic Directions 2008-2013 document to guide our work over the next five years. The cornerstones of this work are: pathways to engaged and informed citizenship; policy influence and gender justice.

There are four thematic areas and two cross-cutting issues designed to focus our work in catalysing transformational change for women and girls.

1. Women’s economic empowerment
2. Women’s safety and security
3. Women’s sustainable livelihoods and natural resource management
4. Women’s civil and political participation

We also promote two additional cross-cutting and advocacy themes:

1. Women’s right to education and information
2. Women’s right to health and well-being

These are supported by seven organisational change goals to help build a more robust, responsive and effective organisation.

We hope you will be part of this journey, with our vision for a just and sustainable world for women.
