Education & Transition
Keeping children learning through the critical move from primary to secondary school and on into skills and work.
Health, Gender Equality & Social Inclusion
Health and opportunity that reach everyone.
Why it matters
We improve community health and work to remove the barriers that exclude women, girls, people with disabilities and other marginalised groups.
Exclusion is the most common reason development gains fail to reach the people who need them most. Health and inclusion are preconditions for everything else.
How we approach it
- Bring primary health services and information closer to communities.
- Address the social norms and structural barriers behind exclusion.
- Put protection and safeguarding at the core of all programming.
Focus areas
- Community HealthCommunity-based primary health, prevention and health systems strengthening.
- Gender EqualityEqual rights, voice and opportunity for women and girls.
- Women's EmpowermentEconomic, social and political empowerment of women.
- Disability InclusionFull participation of people with disabilities.
- Social InclusionReaching marginalised and vulnerable groups.
- Protection & SafeguardingKeeping children and adults at risk safe from harm.
