PTY Governance

Power to You(th) is a partnership between the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 3 consortium partners; Rutgers, Sonke Gender Justice and Amref Health Africa, 2 technical partners; KIT Royal Tropical Institute and Choice for Youth & Sexuality and 7 Country Management Teams (CMTs) in Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Ethiopia, Senegal, Ghana and Indonesia. The Global Supervisory Board is responsible for oversight of the PTY programme and partnership whereas the Global Management Team is responsible for the central management and decision-making. Implementation is conducted under the southern leadership of the different CMTs. 

To support the implementation of the programme, a key secretariat and central coordinating body, the Power to You(th) Coordination Lab, was set-up in Kenya to be a facilitator between countries, technical working groups and global teams, and to coordinate global and regional activities.

Vision

To empower adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) from underserved communities to make informed choices, enjoy their sexuality, and be free from harmful practices in gender-equitable and violence-free societies.

Mission

To raise public support, advocate for improved policies and laws, and strengthen civil society to amplify young people’s voices to claim, protect and expand civic space.

  • Employing creative methods such as photo voice, participatory video, and/or documentary making. Also, applying different tools may be traditional (surveys) or innovative (polls using mobile technology, interactive games, etc.)

  • Using tried and tested self-assessment tools that will help Civil Society Organisations (CSO) to analyse their general organisational capacity as well as capacity for lobby and advocacy, Meaning Youth Participation and Engagement (MYPE) (using tools developed by CHOICE and Y-Act) and Gender Transformative Approach (GTA) (using tools developed by Rutgers and Sonke). CSOs will also develop action plans through SWOT analysis and receive capacity strengthening on Outcome Harvesting (OH) as our program's primary harvesters.

  • We are measuring and monitoring changes in social norms through national/regional opinion polls, community-level panels providing real-time responses to polling questions, and/or community-level participatory social norm assessment tools.

  • Mapping and tracking key legislation and budget arrangements using context analysis and budget tracking methods, supplemented by key informant interviews to gain insight from resisting and supportive actors.

  • Embracing digitisation and innovation to improve our PMELR processes and extract real-time data and insights to improve program outcomes, respond to contextual changes, and inform our lobbying and advocacy.
