ABOUT THE PROGRAM

PROGRESSIVE is a transformative initiative of Shehersaaz, implemented with the support of UN-Habitat and the Adaptation Fund. The program reimagines educational institutions as safe, resilient, inclusive, and sustainable spaces that empower children and youth to become agents of positive change. 

Built upon over two decades of community-driven development experience, PROGRESSIVE addresses climate change, disaster risks, urban vulnerabilities, and environmental challenges while contributing to global sustainability and resilience goals. 

"PROGRESSIVE envisions educational institutions as safe, inclusive, and sustainable spaces where children and youth build resilience, creativity, critical thinking, and environmental responsibility while becoming agents of positive change in their communities."
