Gender Equity & Social Inclusion
At Research Wise, we are deeply committed to promoting gender equity and social inclusion across all aspects of policy and program implementation. We partner with governments, NGOs, and development organizations to ensure marginalized groups, particularly women and girls—have equal opportunities, representation, and access to resources, driving meaningful social change.
What We Offer:
Gender Analysis & Mainstreaming
We conduct comprehensive gender analyses to understand disparities, power dynamics, and barriers to inclusion within policies and programs. We also guide organizations in integrating gender-sensitive approaches throughout their projects, ensuring transformative impacts rather than surface-level interventions.

Impact Evaluation of Gender Programs
Our rigorous evaluations measure the true impact of gender-focused programs, highlighting successes and areas needing improvement. We employ both qualitative methods (focus groups, in-depth interviews) and quantitative tools (surveys, RCTs) to assess how interventions affect gender equality and social inclusion.

Our Unique Approach:
At Research Wise, we adopt an intersectional perspective, recognising that gender equity intersects with other factors such as race, caste, class, and disability. Our solutions are context-specific, culturally sensitive, and rooted in participatory methods, ensuring marginalized voices are heard and respected in decision-making processes.
