WAVE Five-Year Report

International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA), in partnership with 18 women’s rights organisations, collaborated to deliver the Women’s Action For Voice And Empowerment (WAVE) program in Asia and the Pacific between 2016 and 2020.

In five countries – Cambodia, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands – WAVE demonstrated the collective action, voice and power of diverse women leaders, women’s rights organisations and movements in achieving change, enabled by strategic feminist engagement.

While the WAVE program has formally come to an end, it leaves a powerful legacy for women’s rights organisations and movements in Asia and the Pacific.

IWDA acknowledges the commitment, support and flexible funding from the Government of the Netherlands for this five year program, which has made our achievements possible.
