MEMPROW has developed a mult-ipronged strategy for programme implementation

1.A capacity building programme for young women
which includes:
*
A two weeks’ social survival training activity :

Focuses on social survival and leadership skills for young women within institutions of learning.The training equips young women with diverse knowledge on leadership skills,personal empowerment and skills to help them survive in a patriarchal oriented society. Since 2008, MEMPROW has conducted 7 workshops  in four secondary schools, two Universities and in one Teacher Training Institute.
*
A cross generational Mentoring and gender Dialogue Network:
This programme gives public space, once a month, for young women to talk about gender issues and how they affect them.  The young women have an opportunity to meet, exchange ideas and experiences and to analyze ways through which they can transform systems that sustain abuse of women’s rights.

2. A programme for Enhancing Gender Responsiveness of Partner Institutions:
This programme is aimed at mainstreaming gender especially in public and private sector institutions;these are work institutions and educational institutions

3. Research and documentation programme for advocacy: The programme amplifies young women’s voices on gender based violence by documenting their voices on pertinent issues, carrying out needs assessment surveys and periodical studies.

4. Counseling services: Counseling offers continuous support to the young women who experience sexual and gender based violence.
