Gender knowledge
We facilitate opportunities for researchers and practitioners to
critically engage with and reflect upon the state of gender
knowledge in development. By doing so, we are able to
challenge narrow understandings of mainstream
development.
Gender mainstreaming
Gender mainstreaming has
been a central pillar of
development work for the last
20 years. Development agencies
have had varying degrees of
success in their efforts to
equalize the gender balance.
A fresh approach to mainstreaming
Gender mainstreaming that results in real gender equality
outcomes requires a detailed
examination that informs the
strategic transformation of
programming and
organizational practice.
Accordingly, our approach
focuses on facilitating change
through three interrelated
strategies: advisory support, capacity development, and
research.
Our methodology is
participatory, learner-
centered and designed to
achieve and sustain
incremental steps towards
development working for
both women and men. Our
work involves operational
staff as well as decision makers and managers working equally
in the field as well as in the boardroom.
