UG-NGO-3580-10354 Akina Mama wa Afrika Make Way Rwanda context - AMwA Make Way - embracing intersectionality for health equity & justice. The Make Way programme (2021-2025) aims to ensure youth in all their diversity can fully realise their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We promote an intersectional approach to addressing SRHR issues. This means making overlapping vulnerabilities visible to understand their effects on people’s SRHR. We develop innovative tools and build capacities of other civil society organisations to advocate the needed policy and societal changes. Our partnership consists of Akina Mama wa Afrika, The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians, Kenya, Forum for African Women Educationalists, Liliane Foundation, VSO Netherlands, and Wemos, and we work in partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In addition, 28% of women aged 20-24 and 24% of women aged 15-19 have experienced physical violence since age 15. The Violence Against Children and Youth Survey (VACYS) 2015-20169 showed that 12% of females and 5% of males aged 13-17 had experienced sexual abuse in the 12 months prior to the survey. This survey also showed that in children aged 13-17 34% of both females and males had first experienced sexual abuse at or before the age 13. Women with disabilities are two to four times more likely to experience partner violence than those without disabilities. Furthermore, the risk of experiencing all forms of partner violence and non-partner sexual violence increases with the severity of impairment. Qualitative data shows that disability-related stigma and discrimination, compounds women’s vulnerability to violence and hinders their ability to seek help. 10 By the end of year 3, youth with compounded vulnerabilities will be more visible and active in advocacy efforts for their SRHR, speaking out confidently and well-informed on their rights, and in particular, as relates to sexual abuse and exploitation.

In the same year, the ten (10) collaborating partners chosen saw their lobby and advocacy capacities (viz. issue analysis; goal setting; movement and coalition; stakeholder mapping; advocacy planning; communication; implementation). The findings were then used to inform an advocacy capacity building plan which has been implemented in 2022. 01-05-2023: By the end of 2022, Make Way collaborating partners felt enough confidence to implement trainings on intersectional SRHR L&A themselves targeting additional youth-led CSOs. in July, AMwA gave the intersectional SRHR feminism advocacy training, which aimed to unpack feminism and intersectionality, and clarify their strategic importance for SRHR advocacy; In April, one collaborating partner ensured the diffusion of the intersectional approach by training 7 youth-led CSO (7 CSO allies), all of which are girl-centred and are now members of newly formed network working with adolescent girls and striving to ensure intersectionality across. Make Way Kenya has reached its capacity building targets of 2022. In 2023 we do not foresee training new CSOs, but instead we will focus on strengthening the capacity of the partners we have worked with in 2022. 12-06-2024: No new CSO was trained in YR3. However, in November 2023, AMwA partnered with one CP to conduct a Safety and Security Training for Kenya Make Way members, focusing on advocacy. The training, held from October 30 to November 1, involved 25 participants who developed a risk register and mitigation strategies against opposition to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) initiatives. It covered opposition monitoring, defining SRHR opposition, and mapping opposition elements, equipping partners with risk matrices for navigating the SRHR landscape effectively. | 15-04-2024: No new CSO was trained in YR3, but refresh trainings to support the ongoing advoacy work were given to previously trained CSOs. We do not plan to train new CSO in L&A capacities in 2024. Previously trained CSOs may receive refresh trainings to support Make Way advocacy work - specifically focusing on the intersectional toolkit. 30-04-2025: A collaborating partner held the opposition monitoring training on safety and security for the MakeWay partners between on 5th and 6th November 2024.The training guided the partners on how to conduct opposition monitoring and mitigation, from identifying signals to designing responses. The training culminated in the development of a simplified guide that partners can adopt for monitoring and mitigation of anti-rights attacks. We do not foresee to train new CSOs as of now. We will continue to build the capacity of our collaborating partners and CSO allies (who have already been trained and therefore counted). Should any CSOs in the Kenyan context express interest in joining our alliance, they will likely be trained on intersectional advocacy and Make Way tools and be counted here.

In the same year, the ten (10) collaborating partners chosen saw their lobby and advocacy capacities (viz. issue analysis; goal setting; movement and coalition; stakeholder mapping; advocacy planning; communication; implementation). The findings were then used to inform an advocacy capacity building plan which has been implemented in 2022. 21-04-2023: in July, AMwA gave the intersectional SRHR feminism advocacy training, which aimed to unpack feminism and intersectionality, and clarify their strategic importance for SRHR advocacy; Make Way Kenya has reached its capacity building targets of 2022. In 2023 we do not foresee training new CSOs, but instead we will focus on strengthening the capacity of the partners we have worked with in 2022. 12-06-2024: No new CSO was trained in YR3. However, in November 2023, AMwA partnered with one CP to conduct a Safety and Security Training for Kenya Make Way members, focusing on advocacy. The training, held from October 30 to November 1, involved 25 participants who developed a risk register and mitigation strategies against opposition to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) initiatives. It covered opposition monitoring, defining SRHR opposition, and mapping opposition elements, equipping partners with risk matrices for navigating the SRHR landscape effectively. | 15-04-2024: No new CSO was trained in YR3, but refresh trainings to support the ongoing advoacy work were given to previously trained CSOs. We do not plan to train new CSO in L&A capacities in 2024. Previously trained CSOs may receive refresh trainings to support Make Way advocacy work - specifically focusing on the intersectional toolkit. 30-04-2025: A collaborating partner held the opposition monitoring training on safety and security for the Make Way partners between on 5th and 6th November 2025.The training guided the partners on how to conduct opposition monitoring and mitigation, from identifying signals to designing responses. The training culminated in the development of a simplified guide that partners can adopt for monitoring and mitigation of anti-rights attacks. We do not foresee to train new CSOs as of now. We will continue to build the capacity of our collaborating partners and CSO allies (who have already been trained and therefore counted). Should any CSOs in the Kenyan context express interest in joining our alliance, they will likely be trained on intersectional advocacy and Make Way tools and be counted here.

In September, the same CP organised, with the support of the Circle and other partners, a workshop for religious leaders and young people. This provided a platform and a safe space for discussion between the two groups. Additionally, positive messaging on SRHR was tabled and, as result, visual graphics for advocacy were finalised. These graphics were then used by the CP's youth advocates in Mombasa, Kilifi, and Kisumu to facilitate discussion between community leaders, influencers and religious figures (for a total of 86) on GBV and the effects of compounded marginalisation on access to SRH services.

The Make Way programme (2021-2025) aims to ensure youth in all their diversity can fully realise their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We promote an intersectional approach to addressing SRHR issues. This means making overlapping vulnerabilities visible to understand their effects on people’s SRHR. We develop innovative tools and build capacities of other civil society organisations to advocate the needed policy and societal changes. Our partnership consists of Akina Mama wa Afrika, The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians, Kenya, Forum for African Women Educationalists, Liliane Foundation, VSO Netherlands, and Wemos, and we work in partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The first year of the programme (2021) was used to recruit our collaborating partners. In the same year, the six (6) collaborating partners chosen saw their lobby and advocacy capacities (viz. issue analysis; goal setting; movement and coalition; stakeholder mapping; advocacy planning; communication; implementation). The findings were then used to inform an advocacy capacity building plan which has seen its implementation started in 2022, and will be continued in 2023. 27-04-2023: FAWE is reporting on an actual value for 2022.

Among the group of participants were resourceful persons close to the relevant policy makers within the Ethiopian Ministry of health, religious leaders, and leaders of cultural institutions. By the end of the 5 days’ workshop, the Make Way Ethiopian Team had developed three lobby advocacy objectives which are connected to the Make Way Results and Indicators. The three lobby and advocacy objectives developed are to improve youth friendly SRH services, intersectionalisation of existing SGBV standard operating procedures, and the adjustments of programs and funding structures by donors and the government in line with the priorities of marginalised SRH needs. Based on the lobby and advocacy objectives, the collaborating partners will develop their work plans and receive small grants to facilitate their advocacy initiatives in 2023. Training on Intersectional Research and Documentation This training was conducted by Akina Mama Wa Afrika and supported by Ipas, reaching 7 collaborating partners and the 3 consortium partners. By the end of the training, the collaborating partners committed to implementing 14 action plans. This has been reported under another indicator which is not linked to MFA. Note that : After a critical review of the (youth) leadership of our collaborating partners against the definition used of "youth-lead CSO", we concluded that only one of our collaborating partners is truly youth-led. In addition, there have been few changes on which partners we are working together with; the total number of CPs involved in Ethiopia is now 7.

This indicator tracks the number of minoritised youth i.e youth with disabilities, sex workers, girls, LGBTQI+, etc. who report that their voices are accounted for in the planning, implementation and monitoring of SRHR-related activities. With 'voices' we mean: input as a result of youth participation in decision-making discussions regarding SRHR. ​ Report annually, on reach values. ​ Links with SRHR indicator A: **SRH002f - # of youth (female) who participate in policy and decision-making bodies who perceive their participation as meaningful** ​ ​ 16-12-2022: In Ethiopia, in 2021 the Make Way programme was set up and programmatic structures were consolidated.

Make Way Ethiopia started its implementation only in the second half of 2022. We foresee to focus on capacity building starting in 2023. 29-04-2024: In 2023, we conducted a baseline survey with youth attached to the consortium and collaborating partners of the Make Way programme. Out of 318 marginalised young people, only 16.6% reported that their views were incorporated in the planning, monitoring, and evaluation of SRHR-related activities. Our programme aims to continuously involve and put young people at the centre of SRHR lobby and advocacy. This is already happening in the case of the ICSC roll-out. In 2025, we aim to conduct a survey again to assess any potential increase or decrease in the indicator.

UG-NGO-3580-10336 Akina Mama wa Afrika Make Way Zambia context - AMwA Make Way - embracing intersectionality for health equity & justice. The Make Way programme (2021-2025) aims to ensure youth in all their diversity can fully realise their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We promote an intersectional approach to addressing SRHR issues. This means making overlapping vulnerabilities visible to understand their effects on people’s SRHR. We develop innovative tools and build capacities of other civil society organisations to advocate the needed policy and societal changes. Our partnership consists of Akina Mama wa Afrika, The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians, Kenya, Forum for African Women Educationalists, Liliane Foundation, VSO Netherlands, and Wemos, and we work in partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We implement Make Way in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, the Eastern and Southern African region and at the global level.

Internal trainings on elements of Intersectional SRHR Lobby and Advocacy as well as programming in ongoing. The development of a comprehensive toolkit to guide the intersectionality is ongoing. Targeted assessments are planned to support the working strategies in intersectional SRHR programming for adoption. 16-12-2022: In 2021, 9 CPs were trained for the first time on taking an intersectional approach in their work. Capacity strengthening plans and integration of an intersectional approach in their programming took place over 2022. These values will be reported on in 2022. Evidence on what works in promoting Intersectional SRHR is documented and disseminated for replication. The Consortium and Collaborating partners integrate Intersectional SRHR in programming. This will lead to SRHR related policies being more intersectional. 30-04-2023: Collaborating partners that have been trained on, and starting using, intersectionalised tools from the Make Way SRHR Toolkit, have been reported under indicator MT SO 2.2. Therefore, the target set for this indicator for 2022 - i.e. 5 CPs in total - has been met; however, in order to prevent doubling counting from occurring in 2022, we choose to report on the collaborating partners in MT SO 2.2 and not again here. We are expecting that more progress towards this indicator, on adopting or adapting an intersectional lens in programming, will be reported on over 2023. The target is to have all the (youth-led) collaborating partners adopt and adapt intersectional SRHR in their programming. In 2023, there will be additional CSOs targeted to adopt and adapt an intersectional lens in their programming. The targets as reflected are cumulative values (so including the 2022 targets). 29-04-2024: In 2023, it was evident that all CPs conceptualised the intersectionality concept, though variations and depending on their niche. During joint monitoring and follow up activities, data and reports revealed that all CPs were integrating intersectionality in their work. This was supported by the work plans, activity reports, quarterly reports, monitoring reports and other communications. The CPs were using tools from the ISRHR Toolkit, especially the Youth Meaningful Engagement tools, Meaningful Youth Engagement (MYE), Youth Leadership, and ICSC. They were conducting engagement meetings, dialogue meetings and other L&A initiatives at district and community levels. However, the variation in the application of the tools revealed the need for further mentorship. Indicator MT SO 2.2 is measuring the organisations that have done work under this indicator, in order to prevent double counting. In the next round of reporting, more information will be provided on the ways in which our CPs and allies are making use of the tools and integrating an intersectional approach in their programming. Same collaborating partners are targeted. 30-04-2025: CHSZ and other Country Coordinating Group (CCG) partners applied the Intersectional Budget Analysis Checklist during the 2024 budget process, resulting in actionable recommendations for SRHR budget allocations. This was a national process but it starts from the provinces (subnational). Recommended was an increase to the national budget of 15 percent. The Meaningful Youth Engagement tool ensured Youth with Disabilities (YWDs) were actively involved in youth-led research activities, contributing to proposal development, data collection, analysis, and reporting.

Though the CPs have L&A capacity, their approaches are not fully intersectional and some have weaknesses in key elements e.g. safeguarding, youth engagement, gender equity and disability focus as well as experience with regional advocacy. ​ 16-12-2022: In 2021, trainings were held with 9 collaborating partners (CPs), and among consortium partners implementing in Zambia. Also, the CPs did their lobby & advocacy capacity assessments and performed their due diligence assessments. Based on these assessments, capacity strengthening plans have been developed; gaps and areas of improvement were mapped in 2021, and in 2022 the plans were used to work on capacity building of the organisations. The target pertains to the Zambia CCG's and the Make Way collaborating partners' SRHR Lobby and Advocacy initiatives that are more intersectional. 30-04-2023: All 10 CPs have started to implement their capacity development plan in 2022. For AMwA's CPs; both organisations have similar action plans. One of them was around financial system management - they would need more capacity strengthening on how to manage finances in their organisations (as they are small organisations), small grants mechanism was used for this to support them setting this up. One of the CPs is in the process of hiring a new finance officer. Secondly, both work with young people, but had not been very intentional about the intersectionality lens in their work with these youths. E.g. 'reasonable accommodation' was not part of their budgets. Going forward, they will include this in their policies. Thirdly, safeguarding issues: sensitivity training was conducted by another CP, with support form CCG, during which we ensured awareness of CCG members in working with vulnerable groups. And also amongst themselves they continue having these kinds of sessions, 'SOGIE sessions'. For 2022, we targeted to have at least 70% of our collaborating partners to have implemented their capacity development plans. For 2023, we aim to target 12 new CSOs to develop and implement their capacity development plans; for 2023 this target value include CSOs other than the in 2021 contracted collaborating partners. 29-04-2024: The capacity development plants were completed in 2022, following the conducting of the needs assessment for all CPs. In 2023, all CCG partners conducted follow-up activities to assess how the capacity development plans were conducted and the gaps, that still needed support. The follow up activities revealed that all CPs were integrating intersectionality in their work. This was observed from the work plans, activity reports, quarterly reports, monitoring reports and other communications. The CPs were using tools from the ISRHR Toolkit, especially the tools on Meaningful Youth Engagement (MYE), Youth Leadership, and ICSC. They were conducting engagement meetings, dialogue meetings and other L&A initiatives at district and community levels. However, application of the tools varied and the extent to which they used them revealed need for further mentorship. AMwA started working together with 6 CSO allies in 2023. Mentorship on an intersectional approach, including sharing of the tools from the MW toolkit, was the main activity related to strengthening the capacity of these allies in 2023. Follow up is needed with these allies in order to educate and train them (more) on making use of the tools, as an example. The number was reached, and we are not recruiting any CPs. It is CPs that will bring on board allies. The project will continue to refresh the capacity and focus more on how to sustain the CPs. 30-04-2025: In 2023 we reported on the 7 allies that we started working together with, and whom we mentored on using an intersectional approach and the Make Way intersectional advocacy tools. In 2024 we did not start new collaborations and capacity strengthening efforts with new allies but we continued ongoing efforts instead. We do not foresee to train new CSOs for 2025. We will continue to build the capacity of our collaborating partners (who have already been trained and therefore counted).

A technical working group has been constituted to drive the process of developing such toolkit. The consortium partners have the capacity to come up with the required toolkit. ​ 16-12-2022: In 2021, the co-creation workshops (materials) set the stage for intersectional thinking and for taking an intersectional approach in our lobby & advocacy work in Make Way. Then in 2022, the CCG Zambia and their CPs started using the materials from the SRHR toolkit in order to become more intersectional in their L&A approaches. The youth led organisations are key in reaching the target groups. The non-youth led are key in bringing the other players around the table for the establishment of a working movement. 30-04-2023: - The iCSC tool has been used by at least 4 of our CPs, to conduct iCSC process in their respective districts. - All CPs have been trained on the YE tool and have been using this tool. Depending on the circumstances, parts of the tool have been used (e.g. how to engage youths in planning and execution of activities, or on how to engage youths in safe spaces). - Two of our CPs have been asking the Circle on how to use the iSJA tool; the Circle organised a session on how to make use of this tool. One CP used the tool in Dec. 2022, and invited the Circle to join the session showing on how they used it. A biblical text, a selected scripture, was used for this exercise, and the tool was used in group discussions. The outcomes of these discussions were in the first place increased awareness of those participated. Secondly, with the outcomes of these discussions, the organisation went into communities and started discussing about topics related to SRHR that are present in these communities. Ways of reasoning were brought in based on what was discussed during the analysis of the scripture. From the discussions in the communities, you start looking for resources in the community that can help dealing with the issues concerned. - AMwA did an iSRHR training (Aug 2022). All CPs were trained, as well as a representative of each CCG from the consortium. At least two CPs used the Intersectionality 101 tool. In the same month, AMwA conducted Learning Space on Understanding Feminist Intersectional SRHR Advocacy, targeting heads of organizations from the CCG consortium name FAWEZA, CHSZ, VSO and The Circle. Moreover, an introduction for YP members was done on the toolkit, as they were present in the training. - CHSZ and Lusaka based CPs used a tool similar to the IBPA tool to to train monitoring disability inclusion in voluntary reviews. The target for 2023 includes the 2022 target values, in total 20 youth-led CSOs and 19 non-youth led CSOs will be targeted. We expect that each CCG organisation will bring on board at least 1 youth led CSO and each of the CPs will equally bring on board at least 1 youth led CSO. 29-04-2024: - The Intersectional Toolkit has seven (7) tools namely Intersectionality, Accessible Communication, Intersectional-Based Policy Analysis, Meaningful Youth Engagement (MYE), Youth Leadership, Budget Analysis for Advocacy and Intersectional Community Scorecard (ICSC). The usage of the tools varied, with some tools being used more than others. - All 5 CCG partners used Intersectional-Based Policy Analysis (IBPA), Meaningful Youth Engagement (MYE), Youth Leadership, Budget Analysis for Advocacy, Accessible Communication and Intersectional Community Scorecard (ISCS). - All 10 CPs used Meaningful Youth Engagement (MYE), Youth Leadership, Budget Analysis for Advocacy and the Intersectional Community Scorecard (ICSC) tools in their respective spaces, at different times. - Youth Panelists equally used the tools on Meaningful Youth Engagement (MYE), Youth Leadership, and the Intersectional Community Scorecard (ICSC). - Both CCG partners and CPs need to create deliberate opportunities and platforms to share the tools with CSO allies and other partners, and educate them on the use of the tools.

The situation is worse among the marginalised youth with compounded vulnerabilities. Target will be set in 2023. 30-04-2023: 2022 status update on the iCSC process as a mentorship process behind the roll-out of the iCSC: Following the ICA report, a number of issues limiting youth access to SRH services were highlighted. VSO conducted an iCSC training of trainers' workshop to train all CCG members, CPs and SRHR service providers. VSO and CHSZ and 4 of their CPs, conducted the ICSC process in 5 districts. Marginalised youths in respective districts had their capacity built in the 5 steps of the iCSC process, this helped them to to conduct the ICSC process in target districts according to guidelines. Having attended the ToT, 2 CPs in Chirundu and Lusaka, and youths from one other CP in Kitwe conducted interface meetings with duty bearers in their respective districts. The SRHR issues advanced during these activities included lack of access to youth-friendly services, lack of accessible infrastructure for youths with disabilities when accessing SRHR services and products, lack of sign language interpreters for youths with speech impairment, discrimination and negative attitude by health personnel in health facilities, lack of IEC materials in an accessible format. The duty bearers committed to ensuring that these concerns were to be attended to. Action Plans were developed for each site based on the commitments of the duty bearers. Some follow-up monitoring activities were conducted within the period under review. For instance, in Mansa District, the local government approved the application for funds to construct a youth-friendly space, while in Kitwe the health facility responded by constructing a ramp using its own funds. Other follows will be made for the rest of the activities in the consequent quarters. 3 Dialogue meeting planned. Target will be set in 2023.

After having their capacity built, Zambia Federation of Disability Organizations, Cheshire Homes, The Circle, and other like-minded CSOs engaged duty bearers (two dialogue meetings were held, of which one was done at national level, coming from the iCSC process) on issues around access to safe abortion, CSE framework, and contraceptives. The duty bearers in attendance included the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, and Advocacy Health Focal point persons from health facilities such as Matero, Mandevu, and Chipata Level One Hospital in Lusaka. All the duty bearers present acknowledged the challenges faced by marginalised youths. They committed to improving access to SRH services by coming up with an inclusive budget, which was not the case at the time of the engagement. The Ministry of Health committed to training the health personnel in sign language and some NGOs had already started at a smaller scale training selected health personnel.

UG-NGO-3580-10319 Akina Mama wa Afrika Make Way Regional Global Context - Akina Mama wa Afrika Make Way - embracing intersectionality for health equity & justice. The Make Way programme (2021-2025) aims to ensure youth in all their diversity can fully realise their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We promote an intersectional approach to addressing SRHR issues. This means making overlapping vulnerabilities visible to understand their effects on people’s SRHR. We develop innovative tools and build capacities of other civil society organisations to advocate the needed policy and societal changes. Our partnership consists of Akina Mama wa Afrika, The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians, Kenya, Forum for African Women Educationalists, Liliane Foundation, VSO Netherlands, and Wemos, and we work in partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We implement Make Way in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, the Eastern and Southern African region and at the global level.

At the beginning of the Make Way programme, none of the consortium partners had integrated intersectionality in the way they are doing their research and evidence building. 16-12-2022: Status update: AMwA used the IBPA tool to review the EAC SRH Bill 2021 and guide the engagement with parliamentarians. They also did an intersectional feminist analysis of the SRHR legal and policy framework in Uganda (analysis in 2021, dissemination in 2022). AMwA also used an intersectional approach to develop research on feminist approaches to abortion rights in Uganda. We would like to see one consortium partner to have examples of having integrated an intersectional lens into their evidence building, e.g., having an intersectional research framework, using intersectional data, using intersectional questionnaires, being more inclusive in their research process. 24-04-2023: AMwA/Wemos used the IBPA questions to establish the research framework for the joint study on IFC investments (AMwA value increased from 1 in 2021 to 2 in 2022). For 2023, as context we will target 2 new organisations that will integrate an intersectional lens in their evidence building. In 2022, we had targeted 7 organisations to do so. AMwA will report on the actual of 2023 towards the target value of 1. In the actual it will be specified which organisations this will include. 29-04-2024: All Make Way consortium partners continued using an intersectional lens/tools in their evidence building for (joint) lobby and advocacy activities in 2023. This indicator necessitates a considerable amount of time due to the need for training in intersectionality within evidence building. Therefore, we are adhering to the same trajectory as in previous years, using the results we successfully achieved in prior years as a reference point to establish our targets for the current year. 30-04-2025: AMwA is included in the actual value. All Make Way consortium partners continued using an intersectional lens/tools in their evidence building for (joint) lobby and advocacy activities in 2024. Some examples of using intersectional lens/tools are: * Used the Intersectionality based policy analysis (IBPA) tool when developing the research framework and interview guides for a qualitative case study about the impact of IMF conditionalities in Zambia's healthcare. * Used the IBPA tool when developing feedback for the World Bank Group Gender Strategy, the Gender Toolkit, and providing feedback on an inception report of GFF mid term evaluation. * Used Meaningful Youth engagement tool to deliver a training for the CCG Zambia and other partners * Used the intersectional See Judge Act (ISJA) tool in collaboration with our collaborating partner in Kenya to campaign against violence against women and girls at regional and global level. * AmwA, VSO, LF wrote a Make Way statement for the CSW focusing on intersectionality, SRHR and the empowerment of gender diverse people and women; * LF provided suggestions for the zero draft of the EU position paper, focusing on SRHR, intersectionality and disability; In addition, our technical partners in Rwanda and Ethiopia used intersectional lens to develop evidence supporting in-country lobbying and advocacy efforts. Partner in Rwanda had conducted an assessment on the Enablers and Barriers to Inclusive and Intersectional SRHR Services for Adolescents: A Multi-dimensional Analysis of Health System Infrastructure, Policy, and Healthcare Provider Capacity in Rwanda Partner in Ethiopia used Make Way checklist for budget analysis in advocacy, to conduct a structured and systematic evaluation assessing the alignment of budget allocations and expenditures with the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of marginalized communities, emphasizing gender considerations in Ethiopia.

At the beginning of the Make Way programme, none of the consortium partners had intersectional internal strategies and processes. 16-12-2022: Update to the actual value: After the self-assessment AMwA developed a safeguarding policy, a capacity-building plan (started with training by Prof Sylvia Tamale on Feminist Theory) and a plan for a feminist book club in 2022 to encourage learning and consciousness-raising on feminism and intersectional approaches. AMwA reviewed their strategy and developed a new strategic plan. The new strategic plan includes intersectionality as one of the principles that guide their work and an integral part of the approaches to their work. We would like to see one consortium partners to have some kind of actions in place to include intersectionality in internal strategies and policies, e.g., an inclusive gender strategy, recruitment policy, decision-making process etc. 28-04-2023: AMwA, in response to the values clarification self-assessment and the accompanying action plan developed, done and reported on in 2021, created a diversity and inclusion policy. Diversity and inclusion have become key criteria in recruiting staff, and the team is now more diverse. ​ 29-04-2024: All consortium partners continued the implementation of their action plans for more intersectional internal strategies and processes (previously reported on in 2021). This particular indicator typically requires some time to achieve, as it pertains to the adoption of strategies and processes, and often involves an iterative process. The current indicator value has been set at a level that the consortium is highly confident in attaining. Other consortium partners have targets. 30-04-2025: Wemos' technical partner in Rwanda had conducted an assessment on the Enablers and Barriers to Inclusive and Intersectional SRHR Services for Adolescents: A Multi-dimensional Analysis of Health System Infrastructure, Policy, and Healthcare Provider Capacity in Rwanda (report in SharePoint). This assessment was done with an objective to determine the barriers and enablers to inclusive and intersectional SRHR services for adolescents and recommend appropriate actions to stakeholders.

It was a 4-day AU African Peer Review Mechanisms side event organised by the Youth Department of the AU on SRH. So we managed to get them to think intersectionally already. - In November 2022, the RGCG provided a small grant to an organisation active in the African Region, to support the organisation of a regional convening on opposition. AMwA participated in the meeting. The meeting was held from December 1-2, 2022 and had 45 participants from across Africa, including parliamentarians, health service providers, activists, civil society representatives, journalists, and politicians. The main objectives of the convening were to share and discuss evidence, practices and innovative ideas, develop strategies and form a community of practice. The discussions during the convening provided insights on how to support allies who are politicians through financial and technical resources, the use of strategic litigation, engaging in political and civic spaces, including elections, engaging with religious leaders, building inclusive and strong movements and gathering intelligence on the opposition by using tools such as the organisation's opposition monitoring tool and fact checking using online technology. Additionally, strategies on the use of investigative journalism and the models that have worked with engaging media and online platforms were shared and discussed. At the end of the convening, it was agreed that a community of practice will be formed for problem solving, information requests, sharing of innovative and best practices, documentation, instilling confidence in opposition mitigation and more importantly coordination and strategy.

A key global policy relevant to this indicator is the World Bank's ‘From Billions to Trillions’ agenda and the Cascade/ Maximising Finance for Development (MFD) approach. Since the early 2000s, the use of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) for healthcare provision and financing has increased worldwide. In its MFD strategy, the World Bank proposes a ‘private-first approach’, giving a central role to private finance and PPPs. Despite this growing interest, PPPs are a controversial instrument of healthcare provision and financing.

A key global policy relevant to this indicator is the World Bank's ‘From Billions to Trillions’ agenda and the Cascade/ Maximising Finance for Development (MFD) approach. Since the early 2000s, the use of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) for healthcare provision and financing has increased worldwide. In its MFD strategy, the World Bank proposes a ‘private-first approach’, giving a central role to private finance and PPPs. Despite this growing interest, PPPs are a controversial instrument of healthcare provision and financing.

The EAC SRH Bill 2021 is an SRHR policy that seeks to ensure that all people can access SRHR. If this Bill is passed it will operationalize existing country level laws on SRHR. As an instrument of the EAC, provisions in the Bill cannot contradict provisions made in partner states’ constitutions. The Bill is very youth focused and makes most of its provisions for adolescents and young persons. Provisions include access to SRHR information and services for young people without parental consent, CSE, SRHR for adolescents with disabilities, provisions for consensual sexual acts between young people (this is mostly criminalized in partner states), provisions on safe termination of pregnancy and surrogacy (this would be the first law in East Africa to legislate on this). There are very many contentious issues in the Bill and it has remained silent on SRHR for people on the periphery, e.g., sex workers, LGBT+ persons. Also, it only allows abortion in as far as the partner states’ constitutions allow it. etc. The language on “rights” was eliminated from the title of the Bill, although it remains within the body. Success would mean that provisions on respect and promotion of rights of people in all their diversity are maintained in the Bill. This issue is so contentious that participants took quite a bit of time pushing back on the provision on “Non-discrimination” and even use of the word “promotion of rights” within the bill, making sure that the language is so limiting that it does not include sexual minorities.

This training built the capacity of the CPs and consortium partner staff to ably advocate for increased health financing which is critical for the attainment of a well resourced and inclusive SRHR infrastructure and responsive ecosystem at all levels. Additionally 6 collaborating partners and 3 consortium partners, participated in the co-creation workshop which built their capacities in elementary MEL skills it involved a step by step process of developing the theory of change and a performance monitoring plan which is a skill that CPs currently apply in their programme management. In order for the partners to appreciate the intended outcomes of the programme, the training unpacked key concepts with in the programme like intersectionality, sexuality, diversity and inclusion. Out of the 6 trained only 2 CPs, one under AMwA and one under LF/KCH, showed enhanced capacity in intersectional SRHR lobby and advocacy. Other consortium partner organisations have targets and will report on actuals for this indicator. 28-04-2023: Reporting over 2022 AMwA had an AWLI in 2022 that was attended by CP and CCG partners. The training was aimed at enhancing the technical capacity of the partners in lobby and advocacy with the pre- and post-assessment showing an increase in knowledge after the training. 01-05-2025: Other Consortium partners report on actuals and progress on this indicator for this reporting period. All the 7 CPs have the technical capacity to undertake intersectional lobby and advocacy. These have all been reported on. The CP can be counted (when 'unique', so when not counted in the previous period): 1. at least 2 staff have attended the MW capacity building engagements and have the capacity to implement intersectional SRHR advocacy initiatives. 2. the CP has conducted a L&A capacity assessment. 3. the CP has undertaken the self-and peer assessment value clarification on intersectionality. ​ Reporting annually, on unique values, for not youth- or women-led collaborating partners. ​ If relevant, attach a reference doc. for the above (attendance list/training reports/assessment results). ​ Links with SRHR indicator J: **SRH023 - # of CSOs (not youth or women led) with increased L&A capacities** In 2021, collaborating partners assessed their capacity and knowledge to self organise and help scale up intersectionality advocacy approaches for SRHR. Technical capacity gaps were identified within the collaborating partners' organisations that may hinder their ability to conduct intersectional SRHR advocacy. These gaps are to be bridged through the various trainings organised for collaborating partners' staff. Will be targeted in 2022 01-05-2023: Value 2021 reported: 1. Overall status update: In 2021, six (6) collaborating partners and 3 consortium partners were trained in budget advocacy. This training built the capacity of the CPs and consortium partner staff to ably advocate for increased health financing which is critical for the attainment of a well resourced and inclusive SRHR infrastructure and responsive ecosystem at all levels.

Out of the 6 trained only 2 CPs, one under AMwA and one under LF/KCH showed enhanced capacity in intersectional SRHR lobby and advocacy. For 2022, the target is to have at least 1 collaborating partner within the Ugandan context with at least 2 staff that have been trained in conducting intersectional lobby and advocacy and can meaningfully engage duty bearers and SRHR actors. 01-05-2023: Reporting over 2022 AMwA had an AWLI in 2022 that was attended by CP and CCG partners. The training was aimed at enhancing the technical capacity of the partners in lobby and advocacy with the pre- and post-assessment showing an increase in knowledge after the training. For 2023, 2 new CPs will be targeted. Capacity strengthening efforts of the other CPs, which was started in 2022, will be continued. 01-05-2025: Other Consortium partners report on actuals and progress on this indicator for this reporting period. All the 7 CPs have the technical capacity to undertake intersectional lobby and advocacy. These have all been reported on. ​ Only count CSO Allies: - that, based on the interaction/collaboration/ideas of the CSO CPs, are adopting intersectional SRHR in their work and - that have an SRHR advocacy strategy including intersectionality. ​ Reporting annually, on reach values, of youth-led CSO allies. ​ Links with MFA SCS 8: - **SCS082 # of youth led CSOs using a Gender and Social Inclusion lens during all phases of the programming cycle with specific attention to youth.** The programme baseline value is zero because the concept of intersectionality in SRHR had not yet spread to other CSOs other than the consortium partners and collaborating partners. The target for 2022 is still zero because a lot of effort is geared towards building the capacity of collaborating partners to understand the programme to be able to reach out to other CSOs (allies) with the same concept in 2023. Hence we expect CSO allies to adopt intersectionality in 2023. 01-05-2023: Reported over 2022 In 2022, five organisations were collaborated with on intersectional SRHR in 2022. These organisations adopted intersectionality in their programming. Three CSO allies are tracked under this indicator for 2022. Two CSOs were brought on by AMwA and three by a CP under L/F. Two CSO allies will have been counted under the indicator; # of CSOs with an advocacy agenda on intersectional SRHR for minoritised youth. For 2023, 6 new organisations will be targeted 01-05-2024: We have seen an increase in interest from organisations that are working with persons with disabilities / special needs.

In 2021, the CCG conducted 6 L&A assessments for collaborating partners. These assessments helped the CCGs identify their advocacy gaps in SRHR that informed the 2022 capacity strengthening plan for the CCG. Since the project started in 2021 most of the collaborating partners did not immediately implement their action plans from the L & A assessments hence the adoption of an intersectional SRHR agenda will be realised in 2022, although some of the collaborating partners like AWAC and NYEN adopted the intersectional and inclusive language in their programme strategies 16-12-2022: In 2021, the CCG conducted 6 L&A assessments for collaborating partners.

The two CSO allies jointly participated in our budget advocacy work, steering one of the events. And have continued to implement intersectional activities. Note: Due to a wrong classification of the leadership of one of our CSOs as collaborating partners, AMwA will be reporting on 2 non-youth-led collaborating partners (instead of the previous 1 youth-led and 1 non-youth-led). This means that a small discrepancy can be noticed between the target values set for 2022 and the actuals achieved. The indicated targets are cumulative. For 2023, three new organisations are targeted. 01-05-2024: These include the 7 CPs (incl. a new CP), 4 consortium partners and 2 allies (non youth led).

One among those has been a continuous ally that has pushed for inclusive SRHR budgetting. A CP conducted an intersectional SRHR training in 2023 and 7 organisations integrated intersectionality into their programming. Another consortium partner also held an ICSC Training for 6 of its partners. A work plan was developed and this will be embedded in their work plans for 2025. 2 allies will be targeted and influenced to have an intersectional advocacy agenda on SRHR of minoritised youth.

Additionally the organisation expressed an interest in strengthening their Stakeholder mapping capabilities which has improved according to the survey. Expressing how they have fully embraced stakeholder mapping and utilise chain stakeholder mapping to guide their advocacy efforts. Another CP has also continuously implemented the action plans based on the L&A assessments done in 2022. According to the L&A survey carried out in 2024, the organisation can now develop advocacy goals and craft intersectional goals with their constituencies. Additionally, the CP can now develop advocacy plans as opposed to just work plans that were their focus at the beginning of the programme. CCG coordination included a VCAT session during the end of year reflection and planning meeting held on 20th and 21st November, at Fairway Hotel, Kampala. During the values clarification (VCAT) session, participants were reminded about the need to approach the SRHR work from an informed and non-judgemental lens.
