A shared ambition. Local solutions.
Our programmes

Women’s empowerment

Expand opportunities to learn, develop livelihoods and take part in decisions that shape everyday life.

Skills. Choices. Possibilities.

Autonomy begins with the ability to choose

Women bring projects, knowledge and many responsibilities. Supporting their autonomy means recognising this diversity, listening to their aspirations and working on the conditions that allow them to move forward on their own terms.

Our ambition connects skills, confidence and access to useful networks. Support should take account of available time, mobility, caring responsibilities and resources that can realistically be mobilised.

Pathways built around people’s projects

This programme proposes opportunities for training, exchange and guidance to clarify an activity, strengthen a skill or prepare a next step. Depending on identified needs, themes may include organising work, presenting an offer, using digital tools or connecting with appropriate specialists.

Peer support is an important part of this approach. Sharing a difficulty, discussing a decision and discovering different practices can help reduce isolation. These spaces should respect confidentiality and each participant’s freedom.

Agency goes beyond income

Autonomy also involves expressing a preference, accessing understandable information and taking part in decisions. Monitoring an initiative should make room for these dimensions with participants’ agreement.

Do you represent a women’s group, professional network or training organisation? Let us build a proposal around specific expectations, realistic commitments and an active role for participants in shaping their pathway.

Who is it for?

Women, community groups and local livelihood initiatives.
