OUR THEORY OF CHANGE

Through a well-designed sport program, a girl can:1. Build ASSETS (social, human, sport skills)2. Get ACCESS (resources, information, safe space, mentors)3. Develop AGENCY (goal setting, leadership, self-efficacy)

OUR EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT WELL

DESIGNED SPORT PROGRAMS CAN .....

assets

Challenge traditional scripts for girls, breakdown gender

stereotypes

Increase girls’ visible, active presence in the public sphere

Transform the ways girls think about themselves, and the

way families and communities perceive them

Improve girls’ knowledge about their rights, their bodies, and

their health

Build leadership skills; offer opportunities to practice

leadership

Expand girls’ social support networks and access to

community resources

Provide girls with female mentors and role models 7M. Brady Population Council 2010
