Our training materials can be used to introduce a broad range of audiences and backgrounds to important concepts related to gender and health. Each training course focuses on one of five themes that complement the CORE Gender 101 agenda: Gender Integration, HIV + Sexuality, Safe Motherhood, Gender-Based Violence, and Constructive Male Engagement. The courses are designed to meet the geographic and technical needs of cooperating agencies, USAID Missions, and specific projects. Materials range from basics such as using a shared gender vocabulary and programmatic guidance, to user guides on how to conduct a gender analysis, to exercises for gender trainings. The trainings are geared to be used by anyone and with any audience, even those learning about gender for the first time!
Our popular Gender Integration Continuum framework is an important tool to assess how programs do (or do not) address gender and move them toward more gender-transformative actions. An updated User’s Guide for facilitating training on use of the continuum is available, along with other materials.
In this podcast, Jennifer O’Donoghue, fellow at the Center for Universal Education and coordinator of the Echidna Global Scholars program at Brookings, talks with the 2021 scholars about their research on improving learning opportunities and life outcomes for girls and women across the global south.
Laws and policies are essential foundations to building equality, prohibiting discrimination, and empowering women to participate in disaster risk management (DRM) and action on climate change. DRM and climate change laws are part of a national framework of laws that need to work together to support women’s resilience. This report develops and applies a National Good Practice Legislative Framework as an analytical tool to present a range of different constitutional and national laws that support women’s resilience to climate change and disaster risk.
The Gender Training Platform hosts virtual, fee-based workshops for workers in the international development, humanitarian, and human rights sectors to build skills and knowledge about topics and practices needed to advance global gender equality and justice.

There are substantial evidence gaps on programming to address risk across outcomes of importance to adolescent girls. This report aims to advance four goals related to this topic: reducing girls’ risks of contracting COVID-19; identifying longer-term developmental intervention approaches that hold promise in the recovery period; mitigating the secondary effects of COVID-19 on girls; and identifying priority evidence gaps.
This expert paper provides an overview of how climate change is exacerbating different types of gender-based violence (GBV). The paper also presents two recommendations to the Commission on the Status of Women community on how to respond to the climate change and GBV crisis: 1) leverage existing international policy frameworks and 2) support cross-sectoral partnerships.
The GWI’s Building Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Evidence program hosted the first in a four-part webinar series focused on gaps and opportunities around GBV research among conflict-affected displaced populations. The series covers the findings from a year-long process to map out the existing published evidence and illuminate key research gaps to identify those missing, what isn’t yet known, and how to expand approaches to research and evaluation of GBV.
