The Strategic Plan outlines how, in five years, Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP) will build on its significant achievements and lessons to date, while also strengthening critical areas of its work and responding to a changing and challenging environment. The Strategic Plan is the result of extensive consultation among NSWP’s members and other stakeholders. This included a comprehensive Strategic Review of the network’s strengths and weaknesses in 2010–15.
The Monitoring and Evaluation Framework explains how NSWP will reflect on and learn from its work in 2016–20. It provides a means for the network to assess and report on its concrete results and progress – with indicators by which to measure outputs and outcomes. The Framework also outlines how NSWP will demonstrate the impact of its work – through a series of analytical case studies that show how the network’s Theory of Change works in practice and brings positive changes to the lives of sex workers around the world.
