Women Deliver
Complete and actionable MEL System
Women Deliver is a global advocate that champions gender equality and the health and rights of girls and women. Women Deliver’s work with decision-makers and influencers to guide and shape priorities, investment, strategies, and policies to move the needle for girls and women to drives investment—political and financial— in the lives of girls and women.
Kore Global has worked with Women Deliver to develop a global theory of change (2021-2025), four corresponding tactical theories of action based on advocacy theory, a results framework and organisational MEL tracker. This work has entailed developing a coherent and actionable ToC focused on advancing policy and advocacy efforts for gender equality and SRHR. This work has further involved developing a logic model and indicators that effectively capture policy influencing and advocacy efforts. We have worked extensively with Women Deliver both to support the Deliver for Good Campaign’s theory of change and strategy development (working with the Deliver for Good Secretariat in Women Deliver, and the wider range of Deliver for Good partners in the Global South and Global North), and the Young Leaders Programme.
Our work with the Young Leaders Programme involved conducting a series of focus group discussions with young leaders to understand how Women Deliver can design the Young Leaders Programme to increase meaningful youth engagement in support of young leaders’ advocacy aims and ambitions. Kore Global designed and conducted a program evaluation of Women Deliver’s Young Leaders Program. The evaluation sought to understand how the YLP small grants program has supported youth SRHR advocacy and activism.
Kore Global has also partnered with Women Deliver on a research project funded by Merck for Mothers, which examines the impact of COVID-19 on SRHR in LMICs broadly and on India, Kenya and Nigeria specifically. Kore Global conducted an environmental scan of the published (academic and grey) literature on COVID-19 and its impact on SRHR, and in particular on women and girls and marginalized communities. The environmental scan offers a summative analysis of the global responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and describes how the pervasive, existing sexual and reproductive health and justice inequities disproportionately impact the health, wellbeing, and economic stability of adolescents and youth, women, girls, and vulnerable populations in resource-constrained contexts and countries. Kore Global further designed a qualitative research study, which involved conducting in-depth semi-structured interviews with key informants and young leaders on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted young people’s access to SRHR information, products and services. Kore Global conducted a focus group discussion with young leaders to discuss how the pandemic has impacted young people’s access to SRHR information, products and services. To ensure young people were meaningfully engaged in the research design and process, Kore Global collaborated with two young leaders from Kenya and Nigeria who were closely involved in co-designing the focus group discussion guide and co-facilitating the focus group discussion.
