These operational guidelines provide detailed information about how to use the indicator assessment tool.

Indashyikirwa Project

This tool is a set of interactive trainings and take-home exercises designed to help foster a process of change to reduce gender-based violence amongst couples in Rwandan communities. The structure and content are built upon the latest learning from the field of GBV prevention about what makes effective GBV prevention, including: addressing power imbalance as a root cause of GBV, recognizing change as a process, understanding triggers of GBV, and building skills to manage trigger and create a healthy, non-violent relationship.

Building Assets Toolkit: Developing Positive Benchmarks for Adolescent Girls

Recognizing that programmes for adolescent girls are often overly generalized and not adapted to specific populations, this toolkit pioneers a process to assist in the development of relevant, tailored, and positive program content. The asset-building approach helps craft stepwise, achievable benchmarks for girls by age, social category, and context. The toolkit introduces practitioners to the asset-building approach, guiding them through the exercise while modelling the critical thinking needed for effective program design.

Partners and Allies: Toolkit for Meaningful Adolescent Girl Engagement

This toolkit is designed to enable institutions, programs, and project teams to strategically and meaningfully engage girls as equal and active participants in the leadership and development of their communities, nations, and the world. This is not a program design toolkit, but a comprehensive resource that will answer the why, how, and when to safely and effectively engage adolescent girls.
