Let us help you go deeper with your data, team, customers, and stakeholders. 

Our team of experts aim to help you gain clarity on your gender and social inclusion journey. We focus on closing the gender and inclusion gap in 4 cross-cutting themes:

  • Data Analytics

  • Knowledge Management

  • Capacity Building

  • Monitoring and Evaluation

Data Analytics

Gaps in gender and social inclusion data make it difficult to monitor progress for certain groups such as women and girls. Unless better and more data is collected on issues such as e.g. employment and access to finance, gender and social inclusion gaps will persist.

Investment in statistical capacity and data analysis is central to improving the coverage, quality, and timeliness of data for monitoring gender equality and social inclusion issues. Data is also key to ensuring the lived reality of diverse people is captured and made more visible in e.g., education, unpaid work, employment and leadership. But not all data is good data because sometimes deep-seated biases are embedded in concepts, definitions, classifications, and methodologies themselves.

Distill Inclusion can help you use better and more accurate data and analytics in the way you conduct your business or how you make decisions.

Knowledge Managment

Knowledge management consists of managing, creating, processing, and sharing knowledge linked to gender and social inclusion issues in the infrastructure sector.

It can include reporting on quantitative and qualitative research, publishing data analysis, developing toolkits, documenting case studies, and developing training manuals based on capacity-building activities.

Distill Inclusion can help you develop and capture key knowledge management products for use internally or in the public realm that document and showcase your efforts to close gaps in gender and social inclusion.

Capacity Building

Capacity building encourages and enables infrastructure, institutions, and stakeholders to act on local issues themselves.

Capacity building fosters a sense of ownership and empowerment, so that partners, employees, and communities can gain greater control over project goals and objectives, including their own personal development aspirations.

Distill Inclusion can work with you on unlocking the benefits of capacity building at the individual, institutional, and policy level through trainings, workshops and coaching.

Monitoring and Evaluation

While acknowledging the existence of gender and social inclusion issues and taking steps to close gaps may – in and of itself – represent a change for the better, monitoring and evaluating these efforts is key to determining the effectiveness of actions taken and identifying potential improvements.

There is another reason that ongoing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is important: the baseline circumstances could shift, meaning that initiatives to tackle gender and social inclusion issues may similarly need to be altered or adjusted.

Distill Inclusion can work with you on engaging a diverse set of stakeholders in M&E activities, beginning with the design of what should be measured, the development of indicators and subsequent reporting procedures so you stay on track.
