If people are at the centre of social change, their realities must also shape how we understand the issues affecting them.

That is why gender-sensitive data gathering matters. It is not about meeting a quota, it is about ensuring women, men and diverse perspectives have meaningful space to contribute. When data reflects the communities we seek to serve, we can better understand the problem, design relevant solutions and create change that is meaningful and sustainable.

Through the Gender and Social Inclusion Programme, participants were exploring how inclusive data gathering can strengthen organisational decision-making and social change.

And as we move from understanding realities to designing solutions, our upcoming Project Planning & Management course will equip practitioners with the skills to plan, manage and deliver projects that respond effectively to real community needs. Because meaningful change begins with understanding people and turns that understanding into purposeful action.

In development work, it can be easy to measure success by how many people we reach. But lasting social change is more than the people we mobilise. Communicating why we care, building leadership, intentional relationship building and being strategic to build collective power is what helps to create sustainable change.

Since 2024, the Social Justice Leadership Programme has brought together more than 100 participants from ActionAid leadership to explore how they can move beyond top-down programme delivery and move to rooted and community led programming.

Here are four lessons from the programme:

1. Start by learning from communities:
Communities hold knowledge, experience and perspectives that can challenge assumptions and strengthen how organisations understand an issue. Listening and learning from them can help to shape solutions more relevant to people’s realities.

2. Connect personal experience with a shared purpose:
Using the Marshall Ganz’s Public Narrative approach (Story of Self, Story of Us and Story of Now) can help to connect your experiences and values with what we share with others.

3. Invest in relationships:
Working with people is not only about reaching or involving them. Relationships create opportunities to build trust, understand what matters to people and strengthen meaningful engagement.

4. Create space for leadership to develop:
Creating opportunities for people to build confidence, take responsibility and support others can strengthen ownership and collective action.

Ultimately, working to bring social change is not only about what organisations can deliver. It is about creating the conditions for people to lead, organise and shape change themselves.

“If you are not impacting people, you are not making a difference”, says Arthur Larok, Secretary General, ActionAid International.
