Our Commitment to the Pledge for Change 

Along with 12 other organizations, Women for Women International is a signatory of the Pledge for Change, a commitment by aid and development organizations to build a stronger aid ecosystem based on the principles of solidarity, humility, self-determination, and equality to drive more decision-making and resources to places most affected by crises and poverty. 

What the Pledge means for Women for Women International: 

This means we are shifting power to local decision-makers, thereby reducing control over resources and simplifying reporting, funding, and compliance requirements, making collaboration more effective and trust-based. This is done through the three pledges: 

Equitable partnerships: Working with local partners and ensure transparent, relationship-based partnerships with fair terms, shared risks, and mutual accountability. 

Authentic storytelling:  Amplifying local voices by prioritizing the perspectives, expertise, and leadership of people closest to the challenges women in conflict face. 

Influencing wider change: Sharing progress and lessons about Pledge for Change with our audience, donors, peers, and supporters.
