GRLS uses a collective impact framework to address these challenges and tackle deeply ingrained and complex social problems. The framework is based on the premise that no single policy, government department, organisation or programme can solve society\u2019s social problems. We need to develop partnerships with a shared interest in creating and measuring change.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; el_class=&#8221;row-about-us-item row-remove&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; el_class=&#8221;row-about-us-item row-reverse&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;content-padding&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;title-style-custom&#8221;]With partners across the world, we have <strong>impacted the lives of 4.7 million girls and young women in over 130 countries<\/strong>, established a common agenda, shared indicators, mutually reinforcing activities and have become a pivotal organisation for this effort.
