Using its solution-oriented and inclusive approach, the project aims at significantly strengthening young grassroots movements and established NGOs working for social, economic and political equality for all genders. Thus, giving them a stronger and more weighty voice in the social and political discourse of their respective countries. Members of this network will be able to connect with each other, share best practises, collaborate, build stronger political argumentation chains, and improve their project implementation capacity to boost their work and impact.
