This mid-term reflection brief explores the Young Women for Awareness, Agency, Advocacy, and Accountability (YW4A) programme across Egypt, Kenya, Palestine, and South Sudan. It consolidates key insights from the internal Mid-Term Review and reflects on how the programme’s Theory of Change guides learning, collaboration, and action. The brief aims to inspire partners, women’s rights and faith-based organisations, and young women themselves to strengthen interventions for gender justice and meaningful participation.

Developed by KIT Royal Tropical Institute, the brief highlights cross-country and cross-pathway learnings while acknowledging differences in country-specific contexts. It provides practical questions and reflections that consortium partners, women’s rights and faith-based organisations, and Young Women Reference Groups can use to inform programming and decision-making. By connecting insights with concrete actions, the brief supports ongoing efforts to amplify young women’s voices and influence gender-just laws, policies, and practices.
