The journey of the 3D Program for Girls and Women, which began in 2017, is moving into its next phase, led by our Indian partners. Our Washington, D.C. operations closed on August 31, 2021. This website will remain live for a year and then will be archived by the United Nations Foundation. Our work will be taken forward by our partners in India: MASUM, Chaitanya and ICRW, Asia of our rural program, and SWaCH and Kagad Kach Patra Kashtakari Panchayat (KKPKP) of our urban program. We know that our partners will continue to carry the torch and build on the foundation we have created together. Thank you for following our journey and for your commitment to gender equality.
