Integrating Gender in Research Planning
Learn practical ways to integrate gender in financial inclusion research using Oxfam's new guidelines on Integrating Gender in Research Planning. These were recently shared with FinEquity members during a webinar in collaboration with Oxfam.
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. Key themes discussed during the webinar were:
- How to ensure that research integrates clear gender analysis.
- How to review research design from a gender perspective.
- How to use a checklist of things to consider and a grading scale to evaluate where research falls on a gender research rubric, with steps to improve it.
- Additional resources to help designing and commissioning research.
