How we work
Clear purpose.
Shared understanding.
Clarify the engagement.
Together with those involved, we clarify the purpose of each engagement, who needs to take part and WISELY’s role.
Agree how to work together.
We agree responsibilities, how information will be shared and any follow-up. Those involved retain responsibility for their decisions.
Be clear about our contribution.
We distinguish facilitating a process from providing advice or advocating a policy position.
Across our work
Participation
with influence.
We seek to strengthen women’s and young people’s participation and leadership, and cooperation across generations. This means considering both who takes part and how they can influence the work.
Working alongside.
WISELY works alongside people and institutions, supporting their efforts without replacing their roles or responsibilities.
