Empowering Women and Children Through Leadership Development & Advocacy in South Sudan

Addressing Leadership Gaps and Systemic Advocacy Barriers

In South Sudan, entrenched gender norms and limited access to leadership opportunities restrict women’s and youth’s participation in decision-making processes. LAWANCI prioritizes leadership development and advocacy to dismantle these barriers, fostering a generation of informed, empowered leaders who drive equitable change.

Leadership Training and Mentorship Programs

LAWANCI delivers immersive workshops on public speaking, conflict resolution, and strategic governance, equipping women and youth with skills to lead communities and institutions. Through mentorship partnerships with seasoned leaders, we nurture confidence and practical expertise in grassroots and national roles.

Advocacy for Gender-Responsive Policies

We empower women to advocate for their rights through campaigns addressing gender-based violence, education access, and economic inclusion. LAWANCI supports drafting gender-responsive policies, leveraging research and community dialogues to influence legislation on child protection, land ownership, and political representation.

Grassroots Mobilization and Community Dialogue

By establishing Women’s Leadership Councils and youth forums, LAWANCI amplifies marginalized voices in peacebuilding and governance. These platforms facilitate intergenerational dialogues, enabling women and children to articulate needs and co-design solutions for their communities.

Collaborative Partnerships for Institutional Impact

LAWANCI partners with government bodies, NGOs, and educational institutions to integrate women and youth into leadership pipelines. Joint initiatives include training future policymakers, advocating for quotas in governance structures, and strengthening civil society networks.

Building Sustainable Leadership Networks

We connect emerging leaders with regional and global advocacy platforms, fostering knowledge exchange and solidarity. LAWANCI’s alumni networks provide ongoing support, ensuring sustained impact through peer mentoring and collaborative projects.

Driving Systemic Change Through Policy Engagement

LAWANCI engages lawmakers to reform discriminatory laws and expand protections for women and children. Our advocacy secures legal frameworks that promote gender equality in education, healthcare, and economic participation, laying foundations for inclusive governance.
