GENDER  MAINSTREAMING  DEVELOPMENT  PROGRAMS

We work on facilitating the integration of women in development and political processes. We support dialogues, advocacy for women’s and girls’ rights, developing research and indicators related to different aspects of gender dynamics, and capacity building for women leaders.  We also advise clients on ensuring that their operations are gender mainstreamed, and to facilitate engagement with relevant stakeholders and community groups for the purpose. We also engage in research related to electoral norms and processes to advocate for better accessibility of women to political representation.
