Improving local government processes for marginalized girls and women in India
Commitment description:The UN Foundation's 3D Program for Girls and Women advances gender equality and girls and women’s empowerment by helping local governments work more efficiently across departments, and with civil society and the private sector, to increase economic opportunities for girls and women and address their health, education and safety needs. We believe that girls and women are best served when traditional boundaries are crossed and the barriers of siloes are broken so that stakeholders – including girls and women themselves - can come together to get things done. We call it good governance through convergent action.
A key component of the 3D Program’s methodology of convergent action is the creation of platforms and feedback loops that facilitate the participation of people in the processes and programs that affect them. We are working to improve local government processes and outcomes for the most vulnerable girls and women in Pune District, including low-income girls and women and those designated as belonging to scheduled castes and scheduled tribes.
