THE GSF'S MAIN AREAS OF FOCUS WILL BE WOMEN AND GIRLS, FAMILIES, AND HEALTH CARE. WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK THERE ARE FOUR STRATEGIC PILLARS OF WORK: -GLOBAL HEALTH, INCLUDING BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY NONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASES -CAPACITY BUILDING -PEOPLE ON THE MOVE/DISPLACED PEOPLE, WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON FAMILY AND CHILD PROTECTION -ENTREPRENEURSHIP/JOB CREATION, WITH EMPHASIS ON UNLOCKING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS THE GSF IS COMMITTED TO ENSURING A DATA-DRIVEN AND DATA-SUPPORTED IMPLEMENTATION, AS WELL AS A STRATEGIC APPROACH GUIDED BY FILLING EXISTING GAPS AND MAXIMIZING RESULTS OF EXISTING NETWORKS - NOT CREATING NEW ENTITIES. Beginning in January 2019, the Secretariat, consistent with the outcomes of the December 2018 Global Solidarity Fund (GSF) Board strategy session, began the foundational work to (1) focus its efforts on women and children in migrant and refugee camps in Africa and South America, and (2) raise the voice of the women religious in the world. In support of the first, the Secretariat created a matrix of potential countries, complete with strong evaluative criteria, to help identify countries where GSF should focus efforts for women and children in migrant and refugee environments. Based upon these criteria, potential countries were presented to the Board at its April 2019 meeting for discussion and agreement to move to the next steps. Site visits were made to the countries identified - one in Africa and two in South America. It was agreed that the work in Africa should focus on Addis Abba, Ethiopia, due to the concentration of religious communities (both men and women) in the area, established relationships, potential other partners, etc. The South American site is yet to be finalized as GSF desires to bring forward lessons learned from the Addis Abba site before beginning the second site. In July 2019, the Secretariat and representatives from four of the organizations on the Board of the GSF conducted a strategic planning workshop with several potential partners in Addis Abba, Ethiopia. This workshop helped the partners collectively define and endorse a common partnership strategy to foster projects led by orders and congregations of men and women religious, working collaboratively with one another, businesses and other development actors. Following the strategy session, the partners engaged to define the work that would leverage each of their organizations to improve the conditions for those in the refugee camps with a goal of beginning the work of the collaborative in early 2020. Simultaneously, the Secretariat began to work in close collaboration with the International Union of Superiors General, an umbrella organization located in Vatican City that represents more than 500,000 sisters, to create partnerships and opportunities that further empower Catholic sisters' leadership to shape development efforts for those in need - to raise the voices of the women religious in the world. Funding for the first strategies are expected to be provided in early 2020.
