Challenge
Most development agencies require gender analyses in order to improve the targeting and effectiveness of their projects & investments. However, procurement delays, shortage of experts, and manual data collection lead to major delays. As a result, planning and budgeting takes place without early-stage gender considerations. Ultimately, the intended beneficiaries--disproportionately women and girls--are excluded and suffer from a reinforced or widened gender inequality gap.
Description
Equilo is a web-based platform that delivers customized gender equality and social inclusion analysis and recommendations instantly. This automated solution accelerates the integration of these recommendations into development planning, emergency response, and investment decisions by reducing costs and lead times while also mitigating risks and improving outcomes. The objective is to make adoption of these recommendations so easy and beneficial, that it becomes an embedded best practice.
Outcomes
Launch of Equilo Dash for gender equality country context subscriptions, addition of sector content for rollout.
