Throughout the project, Women for Change participants are encouraged to participate using a “buddy” system. (2 women are selected from each neighbourhood to decrease the risk of drop-out or low retention rates) If a Women for Change participant must drop out, their ‘buddy’ will be asked to recruit a new member and share their skills. Network members are encouraged to share their skills and knowledge and build even more connections to keep the Network sustainable in the long term.
Responsibilities are divided between women who take on different roles in the sub-district committees, and at different levels.
