The Model

Gender Transformative Model

The Gender Transformative Model (GTM) is a comprehensive approach dedicated to promoting gender equality and social inclusion. It leverages community-driven interventions to shift deeply ingrained social norms, improve access to entitlements, and reduce vulnerabilities such as gender-based violence. The program operates within an Ecological Framework to ensure multi-level interventions involving individuals, communities, and systems. Through a blend of strategic interventions, GTM addresses the root causes of gender disparities, fostering a more equitable and inclusive society.

In 2019, PCI India partnered with the Odisha Livelihoods Mission to pilot the Gender Transformative Model (GTM) program in Deogarh and Jagatsinghpur districts of Odisha. Since its inception, the GTM has successfully scaled up across all 30 districts in the state, making significant strides in promoting gender equality, economic empowerment, and social inclusion. This expansion reflects the model's effectiveness and the strong commitment of stakeholders to transforming communities throughout Odisha.
