A stronger ecosystem for women's and children's rights in Africa, where evidence, public understanding, and collaboration move together to create durable outcomes.
Building stronger systems for
women and children's rights
The Inclusive Futures Initiative (IFI) is the parent organisation behind the Women and Children's Rights Observatory (WoCRO). WoCRO is its flagship programme focused on strengthening women's and children's rights systems across Africa.
How We Work
WoCRO strengthens how evidence, narratives, and collaboration function across Africa's women's and children's rights ecosystem. We bridge knowledge and action by creating shared understanding, shaping public conversation, and enabling more coherent collective responses.
How we're structured
Inclusive Futures Initiative implements its work through the Women and Children's Rights Observatory (WoCRO).
Vision & Mission
To strengthen the systems that turn evidence into action by generating research, shaping narrative, and convening actors around shared priorities.
Strategic Pillars
Evidence & Insight
We produce and curate research that strengthens shared understanding across the rights ecosystem. This includes baseline studies, synthesis work, and practical insight products that help actors make better decisions.
Narrative Change
We translate evidence into narratives that influence how issues are understood in public, policy, and movement spaces, helping insight travel and resonate where decisions are made.
Ecosystem Collaboration
We create space for actors to learn, connect, and align, making collaboration easier and helping the ecosystem respond more coherently to women's and children's rights challenges.
Evidence. Narrative. Collaboration. These pillars work in sequence and in relationship, creating the conditions for stronger systems and more coordinated action.
Starting in Nigeria
Nigeria's scale and complexity provide a strong foundation for developing models and learning that can support broader regional collaboration over time.
