In this rare moment of a shared global experience, questions about how to create an equitable and just future loom large. The coronavirus pandemic and associated disruptions have highlighted the vital importance of empowered communities and local leadership.
Tostan’s three-year Community Empowerment Program (CEP) has engaged more than 3,000 communities in eight African countries in developing and implementing their visions of well-being. Communities who complete Tostan’s non-formal education program create a collective vision for their future, take action to achieve it, and then share what they’ve learned with others. This proven approach amplifies the voices of women and girls and is the path to stronger community relations with local government officials.
