Ignite village-level/local networks and ecosystem of peers and allies for dialogue and collaboration with girl and women changemakers
Integrate the voice and ideas of girls and women in public planning and policy
Influence the change narrative/ discourse shift towards the recognition and celebration of girl and young women changemakers
Initiate excellence in execution within MJAS to achieve the above
