The Key to Change: Women’s Movement Building and the SDGs (2019-2023)

An impact report analysing the outcomes of women’s rights organisations engaging in movement building. This is the culmination of years of work, of a project I managed some years ago. The final report was written by the current team of ImpactMapper, though contains a lot of my past work – in particular, chapter 1, and case studies on IWDA and Pastoral Women’s Council in Tanzania. The initial report is here, and contains a lot of my work.

UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund): Getting to Zero: Good practices from syntheses of UNFPA country program evaluations (2019)

This meta-evaluation and data synthesis project was conducted as part of a team. I coded and analysed key data from 56 country reports for the UN Population Fund to identify key successes and lessons learned. We wrote a report for the organisation’s 50th anniversary, which We shared at an international conference. It was also used for strategic planning and to strengthen their M&E system.

The Key to Change: Women’s Movements and the Sustainable Development Goals. A multilingual online survey, mixed methods research, and evidence base (2019-2020)

This project surveyed global women’s rights organisations engaging in movement building. We asked them to plot their key achievements and results and aligned them with the SDGs.

We hypothesised that such groups receive disproportionately little funding, considering the scale of their impact.

We plotted these achievements, created an online base of evidence, and developed training and capacity-building tools to help to fundraise.

Case Study: Pastoralist Women’s Council Tanzania (2020)

This case study was written as part of a team for the Key to Change project. We analysed PWC’s survey responses alongside one-on-one interviews and an in-depth literature review.

We drew from their staff and communities’ key stories of change and their mission-driven work. We aligned their achievements since 1997 with the most important social norms change they have managed in the Maasai community.

We shared these incredible achievements with stories of change and data representing their impact, aligning it all with the long-term goals of the SDGs.

Case Study: International Women’s Development Agency, Australia (2020)

This case study was written as part of a team for the Key to Change project. IWDA’s survey response was analysed using a mixed-methods approach, and I followed this up with bilateral interviews and informal conversations with staff.

We wrote this case study to reflect IWDA’s mission and its key achievements over the past decade, aligning them with the SDGs. The case study presents qualitative and quantitative indicators of changes and is complemented by key stories of change.
