MAKE WAY Programme
The ‘Make Way programme’ is a five-year programme (2021-2025) aiming to break down barriers to Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) by promoting a new way of considering discrimination through an intersectional lens. This examination of inequality does not rely on a single dimension such as solely race or gender but acknowledges the multiple aspects that make up one’s identity. By exploring the impact of converging dimensions such as wealth, ability, ethnicity, migration status, the overlapping vulnerabilities are made visible to understand their effects on people’s SRH.
Thus, the Make Way programme uses an intersectional approach to acknowledge systemic discrimination due to overlapping aspects of a person’s identity (gender, race, economic status, immigration status, national origin, etc) and the subsequent impact on access to SRH services.
PARTNERS
The consortium consists of Akina Mama wa Afrika, The Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians, Forum for African Women Educationalists, Liliane Foundation, VSO Netherlands, with Wemos as lead, in partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Make Way programme is implemented in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia, the (Eastern and Southern) African region and at the global level. In Ethiopia, the consortium consists of VSO Ethiopia, FAWE Ethiopia and Ipas (partner of Liliane Foundation).
On behalf of the Make Way consortium, VSO wishes to conduct this social exclusion, gender and political economy analysis. VSO is an international organisation working towards building communities that are resilient, inclusive and accountable across all its programmes. VSO uses three fundamentals 'core approaches' - social inclusion and gender, resilience, and social accountability in all its programming in order to bring about change among people’s lives. VSO carries out continuous evaluation of its work and systematic assessments of all projects, programmes and policies before intervention in order to understand and improve the work of reducing poverty.
As a development agency, VSO’s vision and mission is to create a fair and just world in which everyone has a chance. This comes through fair and just laws and systems that respect the rights of everyone, including the most marginalised people. VSO carries out PEA in order to establish the power imbalances that exist in different contexts. This understanding in turn helps VSO to design appropriate interventions that address the power imbalances through empowering those affected by inequalities, exclusion and marginalisation.
