Programmatic Engagements

Power of Learning

Supported by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), the Power of Learning (PoL) programme promotes collaboration and knowledge exchange among civil society organisations (CSOs) across seven countries — Bangladesh, Burundi, Egypt, Lebanon, Niger, Sudan, and Uganda. The platform creates a shared space for learning, addressing complex challenges, and fostering a culture of continuous reflection and empowerment among movement builders.


As an active member, Bonhishikha has contributed insights from its programmes and movement initiatives, advocating for the integration of Gender Transformative Approaches (GTA) across diverse contexts. In February 2024, Bonhishikha hosted a capacity-building workshop on ‘Understanding the Gender Transformative Approach in Programming’, introducing key concepts such as gender and power dynamics, the socio-ecological model of change, and the Gender Equality Continuum. Through interactive discussions, the session guided participants to apply feminist frameworks, challenge systemic inequalities, and design inclusive, gender-equitable programmes grounded in lived experience.
