- Young women will obtain economic and social benefits from credit unions or cooperatives.
- Members of credit unions or cooperative and the Grassroots Women Community Forums get leadership positions in communities.
- Women leaders in formal and informal spaces actively prevent and respond to violence against women and children among groups aged up to 19, using an inclusive approach.
