1. All of our work, across our teams, feeds into the three overarching workstreams: Collective Action for Change, Emerging Leaders for Change, and Convening for Change programs. For instance: Multilateral Engagement - Global Policy and Advocacy: Our overarching approach to global policy and advocacy is to identify and leverage key policy windows to drive meaningful progress on gender equality, including by influencing governments, convening diverse stakeholders, and amplifying the work of grassroots partners and Emerging Leaders. Women Deliver continuously engages stakeholders, decision-makers, influencers, and those outside the community of already engaged champions to advocate for improved policies and programs and increased financial and political commitments for advancing gender equality and SRHR. We leverage our convenings, communications, and advocacy platforms as spaces to facilitate more inclusive decision-making. We also advise and influence governments, multilaterals, and private sector decision-makers. For more effective advocacy for gender equality and SRHR, we develop and promote user-centered methodologies for strengthening capacity and knowledge sharing. We create…

2. Convenings for Change - The Women Deliver 2026 Conference (WD2026): Looking ahead, Women Deliver is preparing to host the Women Deliver 2026 Conference (WD2026) in Narrm (Melbourne), Australia from 27-30 April 2026. WD2026 will build on the successes and lessons of WD2023 and reflect our deepened commitment to equity, accessibility, and feminist co-leadership. WD2026 will be our most intersectional and accessible convening yet - designed to bring together diverse actors across movements, sectors, and regions to co-create solutions that drive gender equality forward.

3. Youth Engagement - Meaningful Youth Engagement and Youth Leaders Progam: Gender advocacy and collective action must center adolescent girls and youth, especially those with marginalized identities, as designers, experts, and leaders, alongside traditional decision-makers and powerholders, in all gender equality advocacy spaces. The Emerging Leaders for Change Program builds on more than a decade of impact through the Women Deliver Young Leaders Program, focusing on youth-led advocacy in East Africa. This new initiative supports young advocates aged 15-29 in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda who are driving change across issues like SRHR, climate justice, education, and economic empowerment. The program connects them with training, mentorship, and regional peer-to-peer learning opportunities while equipping them to influence policy, mobilize communities, and shape feminist agendas locally and globally. Through this cohort-based model, Women Deliver is investing in the next generation of changemakers who are reimagining and reshaping the future of gender equality in their regions.
