MOJAZ Foundation’s theory of change
MOJAZ’s theory of change is based on eight elements
- A combination of service delivery and rights-based approaches will lead to change
- Evidence-based programmatic interventions will lead to progress
- Women’s empowerment can only be achieved by engaging men in gender
progressive initiatives (rather than creating antagonism between men and women) - Investments in the capacity development of women, men and youth will guide them to
question and change the status quo - The use of ICT has become essential in the present day and age. It is very important to
make women ICT literate so that their socioeconomic and political horizons are broadened - Information sharing, awareness raising, and use of creative arts allow individuals,
communities and institutions to think anew and transform - Social and customary norms are deeprooted but youth can play an important role
in changing the status quo - No change is possible and whatever is achieved will be meaningless if the most deserving segments of society are not attended
Mojaz’s Foundation Approach
MF believes that a combination of service delivery and rights-based approaches lead to change.
Mojaz Foundation provides financial and non-financial services to poor and marginalized people of Pakistan through an inclusive approach. We aim to educate and empower poor and marginalized people at a grassroots level through different programmatic interventions to bring lasting change to their lives. The poor and marginalized groups are always at the Centre of our initiatives. The stronger focus is on building institutions of the poor that promote inclusion of the poor, women, youth, and people with special needs. The community organizations are strengthened by building capacities and linkages with improved infrastructures, government, and markets. The marginalized and poor households are empowered by enhancing productive capacities and access to services.
Last but not the least, engaging with the government is important to advocate for the needs of the communities and to bring changes in the public policies in favor of poor and marginalized people. This certainly involves advocacy at various fronts to make sure that the rights of the poor and marginalized people are advocated and promoted by the duty bearers.
