Global Platforms (GP) is ActionAid’s network for youth-led activism. We provide innovative training and capacity development for young people to lead social, political and economic change around the world. GPs support civil society and social movements through the development of tailor-made training. We see a world full of young people who are drivers of social change.
We started our journey in Bangladesh from 2015. Global Platform Bangladesh offers contextualised training within a wide range of topics, varying from creative activism and youth leadership to democratic governance, young women rights, youth lead social research and global citizenship. We believe that young people hold tremendous potential to challenge the political status quo and play a key role in the fight for a more just and equal world. Our vision is to be a catalyst for youth-led social, political and economic change. We want to empower young people by providing the right tools and space to learn, act and share.

| Building on 40 years of experience in capacity development, we have a proven system for effectively designing, implementing and evaluating trainings. In order to ensure common standards of quality in our trainings and impact after the trainings we have developed “The 6 Step Pathway for Training Development”. These 6 steps are the corner stone of developing training courses. With our Evaluation Framework we aim at providing a simple and standardized tools and frames for evaluation. As a global training organization delivering 400-500 trainings a year, our Evaluation Framework allows us to evaluate on a single activity and at the same time aggregate evaluation data for reporting and organizational learning.
