G(irls)20

Purpose

This 50-month project will provide young women aged 18-25 with meaningful leadership opportunities to build the capacity of community organizations’ boards to implement Gender-based Analysis Plus (GBA+) throughout their practices and policies. Young women will be provided with one-year assignments on community organizations’ boards and in consultation with their assigned board, will select a program or a policy within the organization that will be reviewed through a GBA+ lens. The organization will also evaluate the revised and enhanced project design, and implement governance training, “anti-oppression” training, increased local meet-ups, and increased ongoing support to participants from G(irls)20 staff.
