Inspired by the vision of the Millennium Declaration, CARE and ICRW (International Centre for Research on Women) partnered with the Inner Spaces, Outer Faces Initiative (ISOFI) to learn how to more effectively integrate gender and sexuality into CARE's sexual and reproductive health programmes. Drawing from lessons learned from gender mainstreaming, ISOFI focuses initially on fostering personal change among staff, helping them to explore their own gender and sexuality 'baggage' and supporting transformation of their 'inner space'. ISOFI then gradually integrates mechanisms to promote organizational change, and finally extends to community development practice, the 'outer face'. As a system promoting change in organizational culture and practice, ISOFI features structured iterative loops of reflection and learning, action and experimentation, and analysis and assimilation. This article describes the ISOFI Innovation System, and reports on ISOFI-generated learning and innovation in sex positive HIV prevention programming for truckers and reproductive health interventions for women in India.
受《千年宣言》愿景的启发，救助儿童会与国际妇女研究中心（ICRW）与“内在空间，外在面貌”倡议（ISOFI）合作，学习如何更有效地将性别与性取向纳入救助儿童会的性与生殖健康项目。借鉴性别主流化的经验教训，ISOFI最初专注于促进工作人员的个人转变，帮助他们探索自己的性别和性取向“包袱”，并支持他们“内在空间”的转变。ISOFI随后逐步整合促进组织变革的机制，最后扩展到社区发展实践，即“外在面貌”。作为一个促进组织文化和实践变革的系统，ISOFI具有反思与学习、行动与实验、分析与同化的结构化迭代循环。本文介绍了ISOFI创新系统，并报告了ISOFI在为卡车司机开展的积极预防艾滋病项目以及印度妇女的生殖健康干预措施中所产生的学习成果和创新。
