Key details

The Generation G partnership strives towards the creation of gender-just and violence-free societies with and for young people in their full diversity. The partnership raises public support, advocates for improved policies and laws, and strengthens civil society to contribute to achieving gender justice. It thrives on the diversity, strength and collaboration of experts, evidence-based and evaluated approaches, cross-country learning, and global advocacy. Programme activities are running in seven countries in the Global South: Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Rwanda, South Africa and Uganda, and will conclude at the end of calendar year 2025. As the end-term date of the programme approaches, the organisations and institutions involved in the programme are eager to investigate the results of their work, and document lessons about the successes and challenges of the programme to inform our future programming and the lobby and advocacy field as a whole.
