#AgencyLearningAgenda #LocallyLed

Locally led development should be championed by Women-Led Organizations (WLOs) & Women's Rights Organizations (WROs) for several reasons

1. Contextual expertise: Local women-led organizations possess deep understanding of their communities specific needs & challenges
#LocallyLed

Key takeaway: WLOs and WROs must be positioned as leaders and decision-makers in the Grand Bargain to ensure gender integration is meaningful and effective.
