Uniting for Change: PKN Consortium Sets Foundation for Impact

The Pamodzi Kuthetsa Nkhanza (PKN) consortium led by the Women’s Legal Resources Centre (WOLREC) in collaboration with Girls Empowerment Network (GENET) and Human Rights and Women with Disability (WAG) embarked on a strategic journey to strengthen their collective mission of ending violence against women and girls in Malawi.

In a powerful show of collaboration, the PKN consortium came together with the What Works Research Consortium and Originator Technical Advisors for an intensive workshop held at the Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC). The gathering marked a crucial milestone, laying the groundwork for implementation under the What Works to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls programme.

The workshop served as a platform to deepen shared understanding of the core components of the PKN approach and its research dimensions. It also provided space to align on key inception deliverables, ensuring that all partners moved forward with clarity and purpose.

With rich dialogue, knowledge exchange, and a united vision, the consortium emerged energized and equipped to drive meaningful, scalable change together.
