Turning evidence into collective action for women and children's rights
Inclusive Futures Initiative (IFI) works to strengthen action across Africa's women's and children's rights ecosystem by aligning evidence, narrative, and collaboration.
Through its flagship programme, the Women and Children's Rights Observatory (WoCRO), IFI produces research, translates evidence into insight, and enables collaboration across the ecosystem.
Strategic Pillars
Evidence · Narrative · Collaboration — driving rights-informed action
Three pillars, one mission
Our strategic pillars work in sequence - evidence informs narrative, narrative enables collaboration, and collaboration amplifies impact.
Creating the foundation for shared understanding
Creating and curating evidence that enables shared understanding and stronger decisions across the ecosystem.

Evidence-driven
Every decision and action is grounded in rigorous, contextual evidence.
People-centered
The lived realities of women and children shape everything we do.
Rights-focused
We frame our work through a rights lens, not charity or aid narratives.
Shared learning
We build openly, share findings freely, and learn collectively.
Bridging knowledge and collective action
WoCRO exists because evidence alone does not shift systems. We connect research, narrative, and ecosystem-wide collaboration so that insight reaches the people and institutions who can act on it.
