The project has progressively applied the Champions for Transformative Leadership model developed by GROOTS Kenya to pursue increased and enhanced women's leadership and governance in Kenya. The model which was developed in 2008 is composed of a critical mass of organized groups of grassroots women, men & youth who passionately believe and sustainably champion for the increased number and enhanced quality of women in elective, nominative and appointive leadership positions. The model strategically targets men’s support for gender equality as a core prerequisite to transformative development. To date, the model has contributed to the election, nomination and appointment of grassroots women in decision-making platforms such as the County Assemblies, County Executive, National and County committees, institutional boards as well as local administrators. The model is keen on developing the capacities of young girls from urban and rural poor communities through mentorship and skills development with an overall goal of building a transgenerational movement. Through the model, GROOTS Kenya has consistently supported organized groups to drive demand for accountability from duty-bearers. In line with this GROOTS Kenya developed a grassroots women-led Gender tracking framework & tool for counties. The tool has been piloted in Kakamega, Kiambu and Laikipia counties in the agriculture, education, and water sector. The tool is currently used to generate gender-related data in regard to numbers and access to basic services for evidence-based advocacy in the counties. The project has from time to time received support from UN Women, Kenya, UN Women-Fund for Gender Equality, Henrich Boll  Foundation (HBF), African Women Development Fund (AWDF), WeEffect, Diakonia Sweden, European Union & Huaroiu Commission & PACT Kenya.
