We take an intersectional approach to gender and health, ensuring that women, gender-diverse people, and marginalized communities are at the center of equitable health solutions.
Programmatic Areas
Inclusive Healthcare Financing & Women’s Economic Empowerment3
Reimagining healthcare financing through a gender lens—catalyzing investment in women-led and gender-equitable health initiatives, advocating for fair resource distribution, and pioneering sustainable financing mechanisms that power women as key drivers of health innovation. We promote women’s economic empowerment by increasing access to funding, supporting women-led health enterprises, and ensuring financial systems recognize and invest in women’s contributions to healthcare and well-being.
Resilient Community Health Systems
We advance strong, resilient, and gender-transformative community health systems (CHS) that advance equity, sustainability, and inclusivity in policy, workforce development, and service delivery. By analyzing the functionality of CHS, we identify context-specific drivers and barriers that impact technical capacity, service reliability, and health outcomes—particularly in nutrition and primary healthcare.
Gender Transformative Research & Development
We champion increased investment in gender-transformative health R&D, prioritizing women-led research, gender-equitable funding, and innovation that addresses women’s health needs. As a social enterprise, we advance systems, tools, and mechanisms that strengthen R&D capacity through a gender lens, ensuring that research is inclusive, community-driven, and responsive to the realities of diverse populations. Our work drives equitable representation in leadership, resource allocation, and policymaking, ensuring that R&D is not only scientifically rigorous but also a catalyst for gender justice and systemic transformation.
Gender, Climate, and Health Equity
Anchoring solutions in the voices and lived experiences of communities, we address the intersection of climate change, health, and gender justice through research, advocacy, and action. We drive locally-led adaptation and mitigation strategies that reduce climate-induced health risks, strengthen resilience, and empower women and marginalized groups as leaders in climate-health responses. By amplifying community-driven innovations, we shape policies and investments that ensure equity, sustainability, and climate justice in health systems.
HealthTech & Digital Innovation:
We harness technology and innovation to bridge health inequalities by enabling data-driven decision-making, inclusive health financing, and equitable access to healthcare solutions—especially for last-mile communities. We leverage digital health tools, AI, and fintech solutions to strengthen health systems, enhance accountability, and drive gender-responsive policies. Our approach ensures that technology is a force for equity, closing gender gaps in health data, research, and innovation, while promoting ethical, inclusive, and community-driven digital health transformation.
