Organizational strategy	CMO Configuration	Organization
Supporting self-organization and emergent collective action	Small group activities (during which girls exchange experiences) that are embedded in the safety of the organizational environment (C) enables girls to identify problems they commonly face, support each other and build group solidarity and group identity (O). Joint sense-making of their experiences (M) within the safety of the organizational environment (C) enables the girls to individually and collectively reflect on their relations with peers, their families and on neighbourhood issues, including on their role within the neighbourhood community, generates an awareness of having a common purpose for collective action in the neighbourhood space (O). Identification of problems, reflection in group, a strengthened group identity and solidarity, and awareness of their rights contributes to girls exercising stronger individual and collective agency (O) and making empowered decisions about their lives and relationships, and their environment (O) as they are able to analyse the world with a gender lens and to identify disempowering structures requiring collective action for transformative change (M).
