The National Transformational Leadership Institute (NTLI) supports a range of initiatives for women in South Sudan, including protection from gender-based violence, access to healthcare and education, and promotion of leadership roles and peace-building participation. Acknowledging that social transformation for gender equality requires the involvement of men and boys, NTLI conducted The South Sudan Male Engagement in Promoting the Gender Equality Agenda (The Male Engagement Study). This investigation explores effective strategies for meaningful engagement with men and boys to promote women’s empowerment and transform the social and gender norms that reinforce patriarchy and inequality. The study utilized data from existing literature, focus group discussions (FGDs), and key informant interviews (KIIs).
