Strong Women Strong World: Beyond Access Learning Initative
World Vision’s SWSW: Beyond Access programme helps remove barriers and open doors so women and girls can shine. We launched this program with a clear goal to go beyond providing access to conventional WASH and livelihoods programmes by truly placing women at the centre of all programme activities. By intentionally designing WASH, economic empowerment, and microfinance activities to build upon each other, we nurture women’s confidence and skills and address systemic barriers to their participation and agency.
Evidence exists on transformative approaches to WASH that focus on women and girls. However, limited programmes in the WASH sector have applied more transformative ideas into their programming. This is why learning is a core priority for Beyond Access.
SWSW: Beyond Access focuses on women’s and girls’ empowerment-centred interventions that are integrated and sequenced in a new way. World Vision wants to understand what is working well and what is not, so we can capture best practices that can be applied in future programmes. For such an innovative programme, a more iterative learning approach is needed. Read more about our Beyond Access learning approach and research partner.

Behaviour Change: Evidence Summary for Menstrual Hygiene Management
Menstrual health affects an estimated 1.9 billion women and girls ages 15 to 49, although others outside this group are also directly or indirectly affected. However, menstruation is often a taboo topic that is insufficiently prioritised, leading to a lack of education, inadequate infrastructure, improper management of hygiene materials, and an overall stigma surrounding it. There are many important elements to consider for menstrual hygiene interventions, including access to proper facilities, access to menstrual products, social norms about menstruation, and knowledge about how to manage menstrual appropriately. This brief summarises behaviour change approaches and considerations for effective menstrual hygiene management.
