Under UNFPA’s 10-Country Programme (2022–2026), Bonhishikha assessed 33 Women-led Organisations across five regions to identify their capacities, gaps, and needs for integrating Gender Transformative Approaches (GTA) into projects and programmes in both development and humanitarian contexts. Using profiling, workshops, and individual assessments, the study aimed to support the design of localized and standards-aligned interventions.
What We Found:
The assessment revealed that while many WLOs work actively on gender-based violence prevention and survivor support, fewer integrate intersectional perspectives or address issues faced by transgender people, women with disabilities, or climate-affected communities. Challenges include limited resources, siloed approaches, and lack of collaboration mechanisms. The study recommended strengthening coordination, building alliances, and investing in capacity development to help WLOs adopt inclusive and transformative approaches.
