the project.

Alongside British Council staff, our team co-created an Analytical Tool providing an evidence-based benchmark from which to assess the extent to which the Newton Fund programme activities promoted gender equality.

The evaluation report reviewed current practices through an intersectional lens, examining how factors, in particular gender, race, and disability, intersected and were impacted by people’s experiences with the Newton Fund programmes. Our team provided detailed guidelines and recommendations to make programming work more gender-sensitive and, where possible, gender transformative. It also identified good practice in gender-sensitive and transformative initiatives in partner organisations and the wider Research and Innovation and STEM sector.
