Women's Empowerment: Voice, Agency, and Equal Opportunity
DCRE prioritizes women's rights, meaningful participation in decision-making, professional advancement, and economic independence. Its approach focuses on strengthening women's confidence, agency, civic representation, and access to opportunities while addressing social and structural barriers that limit their full participation in society.
Advancing Agency, Leadership, Resilience, and Opportunity
DCRE seeks to strengthen the capacity of women and young people to shape their futures, exercise their rights, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Through inclusive leadership development, civic engagement, mentoring, and practical skills-building, DCRE aims to address barriers to participation and opportunity, particularly in marginalized, displaced, and crisis-affected communities.
Our Strategic Priorities
Youth Development: Participation, Innovation, and Community Action
DCRE seeks to equip young people with the civic, professional, and practical competencies needed to contribute to their communities. Priorities include youth participation in public life, employability, entrepreneurship, innovation, and youth-led initiatives that address local challenges and foster constructive social change.
Leadership in Times of Crisis: Adaptability, Resilience, and Responsible Action
DCRE aims to strengthen women's and young people's ability to exercise responsible leadership during displacement, conflict, instability, and other crises. This cross-cutting priority emphasizes crisis-informed decision-making, adaptive leadership, problem-solving, communication, community mobilization, and the capacity to respond constructively to uncertainty while respecting safety, dignity, and inclusion.
Our Approach
DCRE intends to advance these priorities through mentoring and coaching, practical leadership development, peer learning, community engagement, and strategic partnerships. Activities will be adapted to participants' circumstances, including mobility restrictions, accessibility barriers, and challenging security conditions.
