SUS, a human rights-based socio-economic empowerment and policy advocacy initatives, adopts several key strategic approaches to influence stakeholders at various levels.
Applying a Social Inclusion Approach, SUS prioritizes inter-sectional groups, including women, girls, ethnic minorities, Dalits, people with disabilities, and sexual minorities, ensuring diversity and focus on the most vulnerable.
The Human Rights Based Approach (HRBA) frames development as a fundamental right, empowering rights-holders (e.g., primary target groups) while holding duty-bearers accountable, reducing dependency, and promoting dignified life.
Partnerships involve collaborating with governores, CSOs, academia, media, and businesses to address complex issues like poverty and climate change, amplifying collective impact.
SUS employs an Evidence-Based Strategic Advocacy Approach, using data from research and community interventions to drive policy reform, implementation, and monitoring for tangible results.
The Men and Boys Engagement Approach engages them as change agents to support gender equality, SRHR, and inclusive societal norms.
Finally, the Conflict Sensitive Approach/Do No Harm mitigates risks in rights-based work, especially with displaced communities, by promoting harmony and peaceful, non-discriminatory strategies.
