Empowering Women and Girls Through Private Sector Engagement: Lessons from SPRING

SPRING was a five-year business accelerator programme funded by FCDO, USAID, Australian Aid and The Nike Foundation. It supported business ventures to develop products and services to transform the lives of adolescent girls. A recent independent evaluation found that the programme reached over 2 million young women over a period of 5 years, by working with 75 businesses. The SPRING evaluators share their insights into which models, incentives and businesses are best suited to achieve lasting systemic change.
