The launch of the project set the foundation for coordinated district-level implementation in Chipinge and Chitungwiza, aligning government departments, community structures, service providers, and adolescents around a shared vision of resilient, innovative, skilled, and empowered girls. Implementation is guided by a layering approach, through which FAWEZI works alongside and provides technical support to line ministries and local authorities including the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE), the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC), the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (MWACSMED), the Department of Social Development (DSD), the National AIDS Council (NAC), the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Development and Vocational Training in Zimbabwe, and District Development Committees to integrate education, health, protection, and youth interventions within existing government-led systems and coordination structures at district and community levels. From inception, the RISE Project prioritised participatory approaches that centre community ownership and system strengthening.
