At the MNCH Centre, we recognize that achieving health and development outcomes is impossible without addressing gender disparities. Our work is grounded in the belief that every woman, man, girl, and boy deserves equal opportunities to live a healthy and dignified life. We generate and apply evidence to promote gender-transformative policies and practices—tackling the root causes of inequality, such as harmful gender norms, unequal power dynamics, and limited access to resources and decision-making. Through partnerships with communities, policymakers, and academic institutions, we design interventions that empower women and girls, engage men and boys as allies, and ensure equitable access to health, education, and economic opportunities. By mainstreaming gender in all our focus areas, we strive to create inclusive systems that leave no one behind.
