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.Forum for African Women Educationalists (Kenya)Forum for African Women Educationalists (Kenya)FAWE Rwanda ChapterAkvo FoundationFAWE KenyaRhonnie OmondiKnowledge Management OfficerROmondi@fawe.orgChania Avenue off Wood Avenue, Kilimani | P.O.

In the same line different government officials, policymakers and stakeholders who attended were prompted to make more targeted investments that tackle inequalities experienced by girls, especially while accessing their immediate support services in the face of conflict, teen pregnancies and other issues. The turn up was around 900 plus participants, youngsters mainly.Total value is 20 for the consortium. Based on new stakeholders/duty bearers.13-04-2026: 2023 GBV in churches On 26th November, Circle has actively contributed to this campaign trough following initiatives: As a result of a previous engagement, religious leaders in Gasabo district, Ndera sector, expressed the need for gathering couple of influential people in the church for a session of GBV. Circle responded to the call and organised couple dialogue on importance to address GBV in religious set up. As a result, participants reported that the session left them with an urge to prioritize addressing roots causes of GBV in churches, and to stand with GBV victims and advocate that religious leaders should speak out about the issues related to GBV. 55 people attended this session 2024 *During the 16 Days of Activism, FAWE Rwanda and a CP hosted a radio talk show on Ishingiro FM, featuring GBV survivors and experts. Reaching over 1,500 listeners, the show raised awareness, encouraged community engagement, and highlighted support structures like Isange One Stop Centers. It also strengthened collaboration among CSOs, media, schools, and government in GBV prevention efforts. (reach the agenda) *A CP with FAWE, with support from a Make Way small grant via NUDOR, installed SRHR billboards in Kirehe and Nyamata to raise awareness among duty bearers and rights holders. The messaging promotes shared responsibility in advancing SRHR and aims to foster safer, healthier communities. Measures were taken to secure the billboards against heavy rains. (reach the agenda) 2025 FAWE: A CP held Safe Space Club sessions in Nyagatare, reaching 120 youth with SRHR and anti-trafficking awareness.

This means a gathering where right holders meet duty bearers face to face to hold them to account. 61 participants including top leaders of the district, legal authorities, sector leadership and Youth with compounded vulnerabilities from safe spaces and Make Way team attended. The meeting brought out persisting issues from safe spaces to top district leaders by youth with compounded vulnerabilities. Due to this interface, a sense of consciousness was cultivated from the district leadership's side. Several commitments from district leadership were made namely: Justice for victims from the Rwanda investigation bureau (RIB) and the police.

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. There will also be a strong focus on raising the awareness of and informing a wide range of actors on discriminatory practices towards youth with compounded vulnerabilities and on tackling biases and socio-cultural norms.

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 2023.26-04-2023: Lobby and Advocacy Training This was a 5 days intensive participatory training filled with activities designed to bring together the knowledge and innovations from all the partners. 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.

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.Other consortium partner organisations have targets and will report on actuals for this indicator.26-04-2023: Lobby and Advocacy Training This was a 5 days intensive participatory training filled with activities designed to bring together the knowledge and innovations from all the partners. 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.

These duty bearers were the health service workers, particularly those in charge of the respective health facilities. This was through an open dialogue (called the interface meeting) from May to June 2024, Debrebirhan and Sept 17-Nov 22,2024 and in Addis Ababa where FAWE supported the youth to conduct interface meetings in 3 health facilities, and Adama where VSO supported 2 health facilities. In these meetings, the youth presented some of the bad state of services through objective scoring of the services to the duty bearers. These issues were taken up by the duty bearers, who committed to address it by developing action plans for the respective health facilities. The affected health facilities were Biftu, Abinet Tebassie and Ayer Tena. Later, a follow up was conducted by the youth and duty bearers (Joint Monitoring Committee) on the action plans and the results were improved WASH facilities, ramp construction, compound clearance, procurement of medical equipment, including delivery couches, ultrasound device, and a CDC laboratory machine. The organizations that were at the forefront for this process were, among others, 2 CPs from FAWE. 'This difference between the overall end of programme target set for SCS032 and the overall (cumulative, across consortium partners) actual achieved, lays in the fact that the target was mainly based on the results of the roll-out of the ICSC; this was the platform where youth would engage duty-bearers with their agenda to be solved. However, the roll-out of the ICSC happened later than envisioned and hence, some of the impact of the roll-out will likely only be noticeable after the programme has closed.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.

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.

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.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.

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.They will be targeted to adopt or adapt an intersectional lens in their programming30-04-2025: 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.They will be targeted to adopt or adapt an intersectional lens in their programming02-02-2026: Indicator MT SO 2.2 is measuring the organisations that have done work under this indicator, in order to prevent double counting.​Report on the number of MW collaborating partners that implemented their capacity development plans, based on the organisational L&A capacity assessments that were undertaken in 2021.

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 Zambia CCG and the Make Way collaborating partners SRHR Lobby and Advocacy initiatives are more intersectional.30-04-2023: Note: After a critical review of the leadership of our collaborating partners that our consortium partners brought on board, against the targets set for 2022 (back in 2021), we can see some small discrepancies in which consortium partner is reporting on which CSO (and its leadership) vs the target values that were set for 2022 per consortium partner.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. FAWE started working together with 1 CSO ally (SRH022) 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).28-01-2026: We did not start new collaborations and capacity strengthening efforts with new allies in 2025, but we continued on going efforts with providing mentorship to allies and CPs instead.Report on the number of MW collaborating partners that implemented their capacity development plans, based on the organisational L&A capacity assessments that were undertaken in 2021.

For FAWE's CPs, financial regulations and policies of these organisations were strengthened. M&E systems of the organisations were strengthened. Filing and documentation systems were improved, safeguarding policies were put in place, for SEPA specifically. For both organisation, in their work plans and annual plans, the intersectionality component was missing; hence, terminologies were adapted to be more inclusive, and they included awareness activities to discuss what intersectionality means, which were done together with key stakeholders at different levels. Note: After a critical review of the leadership of our collaborating partners that our consortium partners brought on board, against the targets set for 2022 (back in 2021), we can see some small discrepancies in which consortium partner is reporting on which CSO (and its leadership) vs the target values that were set for 2022 per consortium partner.For 2022, we targeted to have at least 70% of our collaborating partners to have implemented their capacity development plans.

The target was the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, and traditional leaders. The CPs further provided an overview of the global situation on SRHR especially the realization by many countries that marginalized youths and people were not accessing SRH services and products. This was conducted during the fourth quarter of 2022 in Kitwe and Zambezi respectively. Both traditional leaders (in Zambezi) and representatives of the MoH and MoE (in Kitwe) made commitments during/after these awareness meetings, which will need to follow up.The priority is on the organizations already in the SRHR space under the assumption that they will be more accommodative.

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). - Tw 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.

This created a platform for marginalized youths to present challenges regarding the availability and access to SRH services and information. Key issues highlighted were inadequate health staff, lack of infrastructure for youths to use during their meetings, and lack of Instructional Communication and Education materials in some health facilities. The duty bearers promised to attend to the raised issues but indicated that the change was the national budget for the Ministry of Health that was inadequate and in some cases did not have specific budget lines for SRH. | 30-04-2023: 2022 progress: Target values will be set for all consortium partners for 2025, in 2023, when the CSO allies are fully on board.
