THE INITIATIVE
TAAP, which stands for Transforming Agency, Access, and Power, engages development practitioners, organizations, and policymakers to amplify the voices, opportunities, and dignity of all people. The TAAP Initiative includes the TAAP Approach, TAAP Toolkit and Guide for Inclusive Development, TAAP Community of Practice, TAAP Tuesday newsletter, partnerships, thought leadership, and a learning agenda.
THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS
THAT MAKE US DIFFERENT
The TAAP Initiative is universal, intersectional, and transformative–we are the first to bring these three elements together in one unique approach.

-
UNIVERSALWe work across all identities, including: sex, gender, age, religion, disability, ethnicity/origin, migration status, race, and other.

-
INTERSECTIONALWe understand that every person’s social identity contains multiple compounded layers. The TAAP approach recognizes the effects of intersectionality – the ways in which a person’s multiple social identities interact to confer advantage or disadvantage.
