Capacity Building

Young leaders have innovative ideas about how to address violence against women within their communities. They have ideas about how to succeed. However, support structures, a constructive learning environment and the space to challenge those ideas is often missing. Man Up is letting youth lead the way and providing the framework to allow the full development of Man Up young leaders and their ideas.

Training – Our summit trainings are instrumental in providing strong technical skills to young people working to address violence against women in their communities around the world. Informed and led by both peers and recognized experts in the field, trainings address basic organizing and planning, subject matter related to VAW, and innovative new ways to utilize sports, music and technology to stop violence against women.

Technical assistance - The Man Up team and partners provide ongoing on-site and virtual technical support to help delegates effectively implement their blueprints for change.

Resource Database – A resource database is being developed for the Man Up community. This tool will hold reports, tool-kits, and training modules related to all aspects of combating violence against women and girls.

Grants - Following the summit, seed grants will be made available to delegates for the successful implementation of strong blueprint plans.

Monitoring and Evaluation – Man Up is committed to integrating sound monitoring and evaluation into all aspects of our work. This means that we work with an outside evaluator and prioritize accountability in our own operations. We are also dedicated to training young leaders in the fundamentals of sound monitoring and evaluation. As we work, we hope to grow the body of evidence-based work surrounding primary prevention and violence against women.
