Integrating Gender in Research Planning – Applications for Women’s Financial Inclusion and Economic Empowerment

Thursday, May 2, 2019

TIME: 9:30 -10:30 AM EST

Research can open doors for more gender equitable futures. Gender analysis is built on an understanding of the differences and inequalities in the interrelated lives of women, men, and members of other gender diverse groups, often shaped by unequal power relations and norms that dictate what roles, attitudes and behaviors are considered normal or appropriate.

Join FinEquity to learn practical ways to integrate gender in financial inclusion research using Oxfam’s new guidelines on Integrating Gender in Research Planning. 

Specifically, the webinar will discuss how to:

  • Ensure that the research integrates clear gender analysis. 
  • Review the research design from a gender perspective. 
  • Use a checklist of things to consider and a grading scale to evaluate where the research falls on a gender research rubric, with steps to improve it.
  • Use additional resources to help designing and commissioning research.
