FAWEZA promotes formulation, enactment and implementation of policies, legislation and programmes that support increased participation of girls and women in education. At policy level FAWEZA participates in the review and validation of a number of documents.

Furthermore, the organization is a Network Member of the Zambia National Education Coalition(ZANEC), Non-Governmental Organizations Gender Coordinating Committee (NGOCC) and the Civil Society for Poverty Reduction(CSPR).
