Programmes
PWC has identified the following key intervention areas for bringing about change and opportunity to pastoralist women and children:
1. Empowering women’s awareness of and ability to self-organise seek and secure their democratic rights and development entitlements.
2. Promoting and supporting women and girls’ education as a tool for women’s liberation and successes.
3. Supporting women in their aspiration for securing leadership positions in society as leaders and agents of change.
4. Promoting women’s independent economic empowerment.
5. Enhancing and augmenting the availability and accessibility of community social services (health and education) to those most in need.
Out of these key intervention areas PWC has developed its work into four core programme areas:
PWC’s approximate 6,000 voluntarily registered women members - including individuals and representatives of women’s action groups, SACCOS, girls clubs and women’s rights committees – are from the local communities where the organisation works. PWC has been keen to encourage communities to play an active role in the design and implementation of their development projects. Mobilising local efforts and resources for self-reliance has been a key strategy throughout PWC’s work. This is done by involving communities in their own development projects, designing projects together in a collaborative manner, and ensuring their active participation on projects and issues before any action is taken.
