World Pulse is proud to announce that it has joined forces with some of the world’s most effective and engaged gender equality organizations to harness their individual expertise into an innovative collective impact project that aims to increase the economic power of women and girls in India.

The Collective Impact Partners (CIP) will strengthen the capacity of civil society leaders and organizations to advocate for economic justice and empowerment for women and girls in India, by developing a collective impact model that includes a digital framework for delivering and scaling integrated services. Their efforts will be supported by a $2.1 million grant from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The collective will launch an advocacy and leadership development program will enable girls and women leaders to (1) advance public policies to advance economic justice and empowerment for women and girls ; (2) improve implementation of existing legislation; (3) increase resource allocation to support economic empowerment programs; and, (4) utilize the national and/or state legal frameworks, as well as global agreements, to hold government leaders accountable.
