Practices & Learning from WAGE Global Consortium's Integrated Programming to Empower Women & Girls

The Women and Girls Empowered (WAGE) Global Consortium held a virtual panel discussion on September 28 to share findings from the WAGE Learning Agenda. WAGE programs took an integrated, intersectional, and multi-disciplinary approach to addressing gender-based violence (GBV), women peace and security (WPS) and women’s economic empowerment (WEE), through ten initiatives spanning 15 countries. The WAGE Learning Agenda sought to promote promising practices within integrated women’s and girl’s empowerment programming, understand what is already known about integrated programming, what gaps in experience and evidence exist, and bridging said gaps.
