IMAGINE Program Impacts
“The IMAGINE program was able to facilitate human agency in a relatively short time with minimal costs. Participants expressed high levels of agency and hope for the future which resulted in them being:
• 3 times more likely to report improved income,
• 10 times more likely to report improved health,
• 15 times more likely to report improved relationships.
The capacity of this process to catalyze behavior change is astounding and has tremendous potential to positively impact the lives of millions of women worldwide.”
—Dr. Anita Shankar, Behavioral Scientist, Johns Hopkins University
