About We Lead

We Lead is a new, inspiring, innovative and powerful program that aims to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRH-R) of young women. It focuses on four specific groups of young women: those living with HIV, those with disabilities, sexual minorities and those affected by displacement. The program puts these young women as rights holders in the driver's seat while supporting them to make sustainable changes for their SRH-R. The programme is implemented in nine countries in Africa, the Middle East and Central America: Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Niger, Mozambique, Lebanon, Jordan, Guatemala and Honduras. The We Lead consortium consists of six civil society organizations:  Positive Vibes,  Restless Development,  Marsa,  FEMNET, the CentralAmerican Women's and  Hivos Fund. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands is also part of the association. Hivos is the leader of the consortium and as such is responsible for the development of the processes of implementation. In each country, the We Lead program supports young women's groups and organizations to connect with each other in the local Communities of Action (CoA) as well as strengthen their capacity to be able to advocate, claim, protect and promote their SRH-Rs.
