We Lead Program 2022-2026

We Lead is a new, inspiring, innovative and far-reaching program aiming to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRH-R) of young women that puts them in the driving seat, while supporting them to impactful and sustainably advocate for their SRH-R.

The We Lead program supports young women’s’ groups and organizations. We connect them with one another in local Communities of Action (CoAs) and support and coach them, so that they are better able to advocate for, claim, protect, and promote their SRH-R.

We Lead supports the CoAs with funding (through an innovative participatory grant-making mechanism) and capacity strengthening and coaching initiatives. The five-year program is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, under the SRHR Partnership Fund.

ANHRE is the host organization and key We Lead partner in Jordan. It is a point of reference for local organizations that participate in the CoAs, as well as for consortium-partners.

 The host organization plays three main roles:

1. It disburses funding for in-country and agreed upon activities of the Community of Action, such as meetings, as well as possible for joint international advocacy efforts.
2. The host-organization does regranting to local organizations up to an amount of EUR 15,000 a year per partner, and reports on these. The host-organization is part of the participatory assessment panel in which these grants are approved.
3. It provides in-country financial-administrative structures that allow the We Lead Community of Action (CoA) to function smoothly.
