How can a regional program that supports more than 140 local organizations across diverse and challenging contexts be strengthened—without losing sight of care, trust, and collective learning?
We supported Fòs Feminista, Ríos, and the Women’s Equality Center in conducting a diagnosis of the Sexual and Reproductive Health Program for Latin America and the Caribbean. This regional initiative promotes social, political, and legal change to advance the decriminalization of abortion, expand access to sexual and reproductive health services, and strengthen feminist networks across eight countries in the region.
The diagnosis aimed to identify what is working, what can be improved, and how coordination processes between consortium organizations and their local partners are experienced in practice. Using a mixed-methods approach—including interviews, document analysis, and comparative case studies—the process prioritized active listening and the generation of meaningful learning to inform decision-making.
The result is a set of findings, good practices, and recommendations designed to strengthen management, coordination, and support for local organizations—recognizing that evaluation is also a way of sharing power and sustaining the collective processes that make sexual and reproductive justice possible in the region.
