The Empower@scale platform
- Connects local GALS champions, facilitators, experts and supporters. Both those who are experienced in the use of GALS as well as those who are looking for expertise.
- Clarifies what is universal about GALS and what must be considered when it is localised and mainstreamed into different themes and interventions.
- Discloses and disseminates tacit knowledge through networks, so that it can be used more widely.
- Encourages partnerships and collaboration to increase gender equality, empowerment and participation in projects through GALS.
