Data-Driven Gender Analysis

Assumption is the enemy of equity. We conduct rigorous socio-economic research to uncover the differentiated impacts of your policies and programs on men, women, and marginalized groups.

What We Analyze

Our researchers employ mixed-methods frameworks to gather empirical evidence, ensuring your interventions are targeted, effective, and equitable.

Sex-Disaggregated Data (SADD)

Transforming raw populations into actionable demographics. We design data collection tools that isolate variables by sex to reveal hidden disparities.

  • Evaluating access to resources and services by gender
  • Redesigning corporate and project intake forms
  • Quantitative analysis of existing institutional datasets
  • Visualizing demographic gaps in program participation

Intersectionality Assessments

Gender does not exist in a vacuum. We map how gender intersects with disability, age, socio-economic status, and geography to compound vulnerability.

  • Mapping overlapping systems of discrimination
  • Vulnerability assessments for marginalized groups
  • Focus group studies on intersectional barriers
  • Inclusive policy recommendations

Baseline & End-line Surveys

Providing empirical evidence for donor-funded projects and corporate initiatives to prove ROI and equitable impact over time.

  • Establishing pre-intervention gender metrics
  • Mid-term evaluations and course-correction strategies
  • Post-intervention impact assessment (End-line)
  • Reporting aligned with UN SDG and donor frameworks

Gender in Value Chains

Analyzing agricultural, corporate, and digital supply chains to identify where women are excluded from economic empowerment and decision-making.

  • Time-use studies and unpaid care work mapping
  • Access to credit, land, and market assessments
  • Analysis of leadership and bargaining power
  • Strategies for equitable economic upgrading

The Power of Empirical Data

Assumption-Based Policy

  • 'One-size-fits-all' programs that unintentionally widen inequality
  • Wasted donor funding on interventions that don't reach target groups
  • Gender-blind data masking severe institutional biases
  • Inability to prove project success to international stakeholders
  • Ignorance of intersecting vulnerabilities like disability or age

Evidence-Based Strategy

  • Targeted, highly effective interventions tailored to specific needs
  • Optimized resource allocation maximizing donor ROI
  • Clear, defensible metrics that prove your commitment to equity
  • Robust M&E frameworks aligned with global SDG reporting
  • Intersectional policies that leave absolutely no one behind
