Gender
Across the world, women are disproportionately affected by the negative consequences of poverty and risk. It’s vital that gender isn’t merely a checkbox on a project, but that there is real understanding of how the social, political, and economic requirements of women and girls are addressed.
Whether developing maternal health projects, exploring how the distribution of natural resource revenue impacts women, or designing projects to combat violence against women and girls, we make sure that we emphasise a thorough understanding of the interrelation of gender and policy.
