ABOUT HIVOS AND WE LEAD
Hivos is an international organisation that seeks new solutions to persistent global issues. With smart projects in the right places, we oppose discrimination, inequality, abuse of power and the unsustainable use of our planet’s resources. Counterbalance alone, however, is not enough. Our primary focus is achieving structural change. This is why we cooperate with innovative businesses, citizens and their organisations. We share a dream with them of sustainable economies and inclusive societies.
We Lead is a new, inspiring, innovative and far-reaching program aiming to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRH-R) of young women. The program truly puts young women rights holders in the driving seat, while supporting them to impactful and sustainably advocate for their SRHR.
The program is implemented in nine countries in Africa, the Middle East and Central America, with six civil society organizations in role of consortium partners. The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also part of the partnership. Hivos is the lead party.
The program started in January 1, 2021 and is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the SRHR Partnership Fund, which is part of the Strengthening Civil Society subsidy framework. (For more details please visit https://hivos.org/program/we-lead/).
