GAP aims to end teenage pregnancies and gender-based violence against girls. This goal aligns with four strategic objectives:

1. Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR): Improve access to SRHR services and information to reduce teenage pregnancies and harmful practices in Kenya.
2. Prevention and Response to Gender-Based Violence: Ensure functional child and girls’ rights protection mechanisms to prevent and respond to all forms of violence and abuse.
3. Protecting Girls and Young Women in Crisis and Climate Change Adaptation: Minimize the impact of disasters on girls, young women, families, and communities. 4. Youth-led and Innovative Partnerships for Job Creation: Build a stronger ecosystem for youth employment and entrepreneurship, particularly for vulnerable young women, fostering job seekers and creators.

The Power project, is a new 4-year project that will be implemented in Isiolo County. The project’s intermediate outcomes are (1) Women, men, girls, and boys increasingly recognise, prevent, report and address GBV, and 2) Governments, formal and informal WLOs at national and local levels deliver quality GBV prevention and responses.

It will ride on the Gender and Inclusion Approach, which is a gender transformative and inclusive approach. This approach attempts to tackle root causes of vulnerability and inequality and promote equal rights whether in a humanitarian or more developmental context. The anticipated project activities implementation will consider the different needs of targeted girls and women and contribute for addressing the root causes of gender inequality and exclusion.
