Ensuring co-produced data collection and outputs lead to real action. 

Over the course of 5 months, ASF-UK worked in collaboration with 1to1 Agency of Engagement and SERI, to translate practice based findings from the last 2 years into accessible tools for communities, journalists and policy makers. 

The programme was structured around 3 interconnected strands: grassroots support, media engagement, and policy influence. Through participatory workshops and co-facilitated sessions, the project worked with grassroots leaders, journalists and policymakers to make research findings more accessible and understandable. Outcomes involved multilingual audio summaries, development of a rights-informed media pack, and a policy brief presenting low-cost, actionable interventions.
