On Micro-, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSME) Day, we celebrate these enterprises' vital role in driving innovation, creating jobs and fostering economic growth worldwide. The INVEST project, implemented by Corus organization Lutheran World Relief, supported better employment and entrepreneurial outcomes for Tanzanian youth. INVEST reached more than 21,000 rural youth enrolled in Tanzania's Ministry of Agriculture Training Institutes, paving the way for innovative enterprises and long-term job prospects.

On this International LGBTQI+ Pride Day and throughout the year, we international development practitioners are reminded of the crucial importance of amplifying the voices of the LGBTQI+ community in project design and programming. Such inclusion is essential to end discrimination, uphold human rights, and ensure sustainable development for all. Our Managing Director for Latin America, Galo Quizanga, emphasizes, "In our commitment to equity and human rights, it is crucial to acknowledge that globally, 9 out of 10 youth who identify as LGBTQI+ face discrimination or violence. LGBTQI+ rights are fundamental human rights, and we cannot allow anyone to be left behind. Now more than ever, it is imperative that we strengthen our support for this community to ensure that everyone lives in peace and dignity." We remain committed to prioritizing inclusion efforts and are encouraged to see development leaders like USAID focusing on LGBTQI+ inclusive development. https://lnkd.in/g_ajjpQ5 #Inclusion #InclusiveDevelopment #LGBTQI #Youth #Pride #HumanRights #InclusionMatters

This latest peer-reviewed article from our Technical Director for SBC Kamden Hoffmann and collaborators describes how vignettes—short stories about a fictitious South Sudanese couple across the reproductive life course—were used in USAID MOMENTUM Integrated Health Resilience as a qualitative method to explore social norms related to family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) and decisions related to contraceptive use and gender-based violence (GBV) in 5 counties in South Sudan. Explore the article to delve into how certain social norms have limited FP/RH and perpetuated GBV, while others have promoted FP/RH and aided in mitigating GBV: https://bit.ly/4c8A5Pz #SBC #SocialNorms #FPRH #GBV #SouthSudan #USAIDMOMENTUM

This International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we are shining a light on the need to prevent, mitigate and respond to sexual and gender-based violence in fragile settings across the globe. Our Senior Technical Advisor for Gender-based Violence shares, "We must prioritize the needs of women and girls in conflict settings and put an end to violence. Not only does the risk of human trafficking increase alongside rape, sex-selective genocide, and child, early and forced marriages, but intimate partner violence is worsened by armed conflict and other humanitarian crises." Learn more about how we address gender-based violence: https://bit.ly/3Ou9gKK #EliminateSexualViolence #GBV #SGBV #EndGBV
