SN-NL is hosted by the KIT Royal Tropical Institute and has 31 individual members and 32 organisational members (May 2021) from sectors including NGOs, universities, knowledge institutes, governmental and private sector which work in low- and middle- income countries and in the Netherlands with a focus on SRHR. SN-NL has been focusing on strengthening knowledge to develop evidence-based policies and practices, and ensuring that resources are used strategically and to maximum effect, among other aims, in relation to the four core areas of Dutch policy on SRHR. The hub has involved its members in organising a wide range of thematic meetings, lectures, debriefings and consultations to ensure that knowledge is shared systematically. SN-NL also disseminates bi-weekly newsletters to its members, ensuring that current information on SRHR is available and accessible for them.
The Young Women for Awareness, Agency, Advocacy, and Accountability Kenya - MEL Under the YW4A programme KIT is responsible for designing the gender-transformative outcome Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) of the YW4A programme. The outcome MEL system and learning mechanisms are co-created with a young women reference group in each country. Young women have a key co-decision making role in the MEL design and as such they will play a critical role in contextualizing the MEL in lived realities of young women and harvesting collective learning around changes in behavior and practices of women’s rights organisations, faith-based organisations, state actors and young women groups throughout the project period.
KIT will also support the design of YW4A baseline studies and support outcome monitoring and learning at mid-term and end-line of the programme. In year 1 KIT lead the design and implementation of baseline studies on WROs advocacy and organizational capacities (pathway 1) and on young women’s leadership capacities (pathway 2). For both studies, staff from women’s rights organisations and young women participated in a facilitated self-assessment and participatory analysis workshops to establish their baseline situation. KIT also provided technical advice to consortium members for the implementation of the baseline studies for pathways 3 and 4.

Power to You(th) The Power to You(th) (PTY) programme focuses on harmful practices, such as female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) and child marriage, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and unintended pregnancies. All of these are persistent ‘key issues’ where insufficient progress has been made in recent years.

Funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the programme is led by a consortium between Amref Flying Doctors, Rutgers, and Sonke Gender Justice, with KIT and Choice for Youth and Sexuality as technical partners. It is being implemented in seven countries by partners of these three consortium organisations in Ethiopia, Ghana, Indonesia, Kenya, Malawi, Senegal and Uganda, with coordination support and advocacy activities conducted in the Netherlands and globally.

The consortium strives to foster ownership at the country level, with locally formed coalitions and representation of beneficiaries in its governance. The implementing partners believe in the power of young people (especially young women and girls) to bring about positive change, and think they should be meaningfully included in discussions and decisions regarding key issues.

Accordingly, the programme will empower adolescent girls and young women to increase their agency, claim their rights, address gender inequalities, challenge gender norms and advocate for inclusive decision-making. Boys and men will be engaged as positive contributors to this process of change. KIT is a technical partner of Power to You(the) (PTY), and has been responsible for the desk reviews and baseline studies conducted in the 7 PTY  countries in collaboration with in-country research teams.
The country-specific desk reviews objectives were:
•	To provide an overview of available literature, evidence and lessons learned related to the pathways of change in the Power to You(th) Theory of Change
•	To provide background information for the country-specific baseline studies that follow after 
•	To provide country teams with an overview, to be able to identify remaining knowledge needs and gaps for the implementation of the power to you(th) programme
The overall aim of the baseline studies was to provide a situational analysis of the focus areas of the programme and provide insights which can be incorporated into the design and/or adaptation of programme interventions. These baseline studies
used a mixed-methods design, involving qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. The knowledge and information provided out of the 7 desk reviews and the 7 baseline studies targeted the whole Power to You(the) (PTY) Consortium, but more specifically the PTY country teams, and CSO and state actors that will be part of the implementation of the PTY programme. Furthermore, the desk reviews and baseline studies informed the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The participants of the baseline studies were adolescents and young people between the age of 15-24, social and state actors, civil society organizations and youth advocates active in the area of harmful practices, SGBV and teenage pregnancy in the implementation areas in-country.

This work includes a social inclusion strategy that seeks to identify and reduce gender gaps and increase development opportunities for women and youth. USAID will strengthen rootedness and reduce irregular migration by improving the livelihoods through sustainable use of local natural resource
Combating Wildlife Crime in the Caribbean (USAID Caribbean Development Program):  Wildlife trafficking is one of the world's most profitable underground markets, boasting an annual estimated value worth between $7 and $23 billion per year. Illegal trading continues to increase because it poses low risks and offers high rewards compared to other forms of criminal trade. The Caribbean has been targeted as a hotspot due to its rich biodiversity. Wildlife and wildlife products in the region are in high demand, in international and national markets, being sold globally as food, jewelry, souvenirs, pets, and traditional medicines and tonics. .To enhance protection of target species, the goal of the Combating Wildlife Trafficking activity (CWTA) is to conserve illegally traded wildlife from the Caribbean region by: .1) Strengthening local law enforcement's  monitoring and protection capabilities..2) Increasing the capacity of law enforcement agencies and the judiciary to effectively mitigate poaching and trafficking..3) Fostering regional collaboration and policy harmonization..4) Shaping attitudes and behaviors to reduce demand for illegal wildlife products...In addition to these measures, the CWTA will support existing partners and governmental agencies dedicated to tackling illegal wildlife trade in the Caribbean region. It will critically evaluate existing and emerging threats to target species as well as broader biodiversity concerns. The activity will focus on the drivers of illegal trade and their linkages to broader economic activities in the region, including tourism. Furthermore, the CWTA will also seek to collaborate  with private sector entities, such as airlines, cruise ships, airports, hotels, etc., to address and diminish the demand for wildlife products..... .. .
