Women Thrive Worldwide

For Learning Advocacy Within The Post-2015 Development Goals

Overview
This grant would accelerate the momentum Women Thrive Worldwide and partner organizations in the Global South have generated to add learning and gender equity indicators to the post-2015 development framework. Women Thrive itself will be involved in advocating for the inclusion of equitable learning in a new framework, and it will work to amplify the voices of Global South organizations as it mobilizes key donors, governments, and citizen groups globally, in and outside the education sector, to influence the goal-setting process.

Grants to this Grantee
for learning advocacy within the post-2015 development goals  
With this support, Women Thrive would continue its work with Global South organizations using a variety of advocacy tactics to shape the post-2015 development agenda so that the concepts of quality learning and gender equity in education are advanced. Women Thrive defines success as: (1) a stand-alone goal focused on equitable learning and (2) education and women’s organizations from the Global South showing improved advocacy capacity and directly influencing post-2015 education and learning proposals.
for support to improve external communications and activities related to leadership transition  
With this grant, Women Thrive would develop a new strategy for more cohesive and consistent communications to inform and influence its key audiences. This communications strategy will highlight the full range of Women Thrive's areas of expertise, advocacy agenda, partnerships and results, enabling Women Thrive to more effectively engage donors, policy makers, coalitions, Global South partners and other activists for social change.
for learning advocacy within the post-2015 Millennium Development Goals  
With this grant, Women Thrive Worldwide (formerly Women's Edge Coalition) would mobilize donors, governments, and citizen groups in and outside the education sector to strengthen learning in the global policy framework that will replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) after 2015. Women Thrive would also track and influence other policy debates on education and learning that intersect with the U.N.’s MDG process. These include UNESCO’s new set of Education for All goals, the Global Partnership for Education’s increased focus on learning, and other bilateral education programs.
