BUSINESS FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

At BSR, we recognize that business has a critical role in both contributing to and benefiting from women’s empowerment. We believe business holds a significant, untapped capacity to enhance women’s empowerment, which the sector can catalyze and direct more effectively. This is why we are excited to support the Deliver for Good Campaign to put a gender lens on the Sustainable Development Goals, mobilize multi-sector solutions, and advance women’s progress globally. BSR sees tremendous potential for our global network of members to contribute to women’s empowerment and their full participation in the economy. To do our part, BSR will work with our members to demonstrate the business case for investing in women’s progress, develop individual company solutions, and build coalitions to advance women’s empowerment in business operations and the global economy.

EQUAL MEASURES 2030

Equal Measures 2030 joins forces with Deliver for Good in the belief that through partnership and collaboration, we will power progress for girls and women everywhere.  We know that to truly measure and accelerate progress, we need to focus on the whole girl and the whole woman.  We commit to supporting Deliver for Good across the 12 critical investment areas and helping to build this movement with such dynamic partners.  At Equal Measures 2030, we envision a world where no girl or woman is invisible, and by combining forces with Deliver for Good, we will ensure that data and evidence are connected with advocacy and action, helping to fuel progress towards gender equality. 

— Mary Bridger, Head of Operations and Engagement, Equal Measures 2030

FEMNET

FEMNET decided to join the campaign because more than ever before, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes 3 very outstanding dimensions: People, Prosperity and Environmental sustainability which resonate with women and girls rights. This campaign is a joint push for UN member states, national governments and other stakeholders to develop mechanisms for financing, implementing, tracking indicators, ensuring accountability for women rights in development. It is unique because it moves away from putting all the eggs in one basket, despite our major focus on Women’s empowerment and Gender Equality in Goal 5, we will also monitor important targets under other goals such the SRHR target under Goal 3 and all the 17 goals with a call for a transformative approach by all actors to address existing gaps in implementing SDGs in an integrated manner.

FHI 360

“The evidence is clear. Women and girls have less access to resources and opportunities and are subjected to exploitation, violence and abuse.  And because these global challenges are complex, demanding and interwoven – the solutions have to be connected as well. FHI 360 is proud to support Women Deliver’s new Deliver for Good campaign, offering expertise and insights from our experience that contribute to the body of evidence of what works and what doesn’t. It’s time we meaningfully engage girls and women as equal partners at all levels and stages of development to help ensure they have the decision-making power necessary to shape their societies and their own lives.”

— Manisha Bharti, Chief Strategy Officer

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTE

It is 2017, and the clock on achieving the full promise of the Sustainable Development Goals is ticking. At NDI we don’t believe that striving for the political empowerment of women and girls is a zero-sum game. Their ability to participate as voters, activists, political party leaders, and elected or appointed officials at any level of government, brings benefits for communities and for countries, ultimately this fosters a more peaceful, humane, and democratic world. NDI looks forward to working with partners and stakeholders around the world to help make the Deliver for Good campaign a success. In doing so, we will continue to support the aspiration of women and girls to be leaders and engaged citizens. With their voice and agency, we can ensure that everyone benefits equally from inclusive, responsive and accountable governance.  

— Kenneth Wollack, President, NDI

GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR EDUCATION

The Global Partnership for Education is honored to be a part of this fabulous initiative. We joined this campaign because we believe in partnership and we believe in girls. It is an appalling fact that two times as many girls as boys will never start school. That’s not just a denial of every girls’ right, it’s an outrageous waste. Educate a girl and you change not just her life but the future of her family, community and nation. GPE is determined to achieve a world in which every person is empowered through a great education. We can’t wait to work with others and deliver for good.

— Geoff Adlide, Director, Advocacy and Communications,Global Partnership for Education

INTERNATIONAL PLANNED PARENTHOOD FEDERATION

Now, as we start implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, is THE time to drive investment in women and girls. All the evidence shows that enabling women and girls to realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights is the key to unlocking their potential and power. IPPF hopes the ‘Deliver for Good’ campaign will help accelerate delivery of SRHR (including comprehensive sexuality education), gender equality and women’s empowerment across the world, including in humanitarian settings.

— Tewodros Melesse, Director General, International Planned Parenthood Federation

LANDESA

“Landesa is proud to partner with the Deliver for Good campaign, recognizing it as critical to ensuring robust progress on global development goals. We know that women’s land and resource rights directly affect food security, poverty alleviation, climate change, health, education and women’s empowerment. By gathering organizations and movements at this intersection of women’s rights and sustainable development, the Deliver for Good campaign can spur progress across essential development goals and catalyze change for women and communities around the world.”

— Chris Jochnick, CEO, Landesa 

“The world is facing some of the greatest humanitarian challenges of our time.  At Mercy Corps we know that to have impact, innovation, and influence on these urgent issues in the toughest contexts, we must work with networks and in partnerships with multiple stakeholders.  As the first Deliver for Good campaign member focused specifically on humanitarian aid and action, we are excited to work across the humanitarian and development sectors to break down silos and bring about solutions that spark, scale and sustain change for women, girls and their communities so that no one is left behind.  We committed to the Deliver for Good campaign and the partnerships this initiative brings because we embrace the shared value of investing in women and girls and strengthening their enabling environment.  Mercy Corps’ focus on those most at risk from being left behind is exactly what we will bring to the Deliver for Good campaign.”

— Neal Keny-Guyer, CEO, Mercy Corps 

PLAN INTERNATIONAL

The historic and universally agreed commitments in the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda were an important victory for girls’ and women’s organisations and gender equality champions, who played a key role in securing the adoption of the framework. Plan International is proud to be part of Deliver for Good and the movement to ensure the SDG commitments to realising gender equality and rights for all girls and women are achieved. We will support this initiative through our Because I am a Girl movement, leveraging our partnership approach, our global reach, our strong programmes and field evidence, and our work to influence SDG implementation at all levels. We will develop and share strong data on solutions to ensure that girls everywhere learn, lead, decide and thrive.

— Adam Vink, Youth Advocacy Officer, Plan International

POPULATION SERVICES INTERNATIONAL

“The Deliver for Good campaign will help us all to move faster and farther toward the SDGs. PSI understands from our 45 years of work around the world that when girls and women have greater access to products and services they need, and more autonomy in decision-making, health outcomes improve. We pledge to keep Putting Her First by listening to the true needs of girls and women, so that we can all advance. We want the Deliver for Good campaign to help further the momentum toward girls and women’s economic, social and political power.”

— Karl Hofmann, President & CEO, Population Services International

SCALING UP NUTRITION

“Improving the nutrition of girls, adolescents, and women increases their ability to perform well at school and to become empowered in the workforce and the wider society. The 57 countries that make up the SUN Movement know that the virtuous circle of good nutrition and better futures starts with the girl child.”

— Gerda Verburg, Coordinator of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement

EVERY WOMAN EVERY CHILD

By working in synergy, Every Woman Every Child and Deliver for Good can reach far and beyond, applying a gender lens to global development and advocating for the health, rights, and wellbeing of girls and women everywhere.
