About

This document provides practical guidance for establishing and managing girls' networks in Lebanon following the completion of the POWER4GIRLS' Life Skills package or any other similar life skill packages tailored for and with girls. It is part of the global UNICEF POWER4Girls' initiative aiming to accelerate at scale action to advance the rights, wellbeing and leadership of adolescent girls, with the ambition to influence policy and programming work across the development - humanitarian ecosystem.

While initially developed by UNICEF and FEMALE as part of the POWER4Girls' initiative, the strategies and tools outlined can also be adapted and applied to the creation of girls' networks more broadly. The manual aims to empower girls to lead gender equality initiatives, fostering their voices, power, and agency; and can serve as a resource for stakeholders looking to develop sustainable networks that support girls in similar contexts and regions.
