E2A 2024: Centering Gender Equity in Responses to Global Poverty
Despite crucial strides toward gender equality, current estimates suggest that it will take well over 100 years to close the global gender gap. Meanwhile, in this era of compounding crises, different genders are experiencing the impacts of climate, conflict, and economic instability differently. Policies and programs that advance gender equity need more rigorous, intersectional evidence that examines the individual and structural dimensions of inequity.
Evidence to Action: Centering Gender Equity in Responses to Global Poverty showcased new insights from academic research about gender equity in low- and middle-income countries. The conference featured work that involves innovative research methods, engages diverse collaborators, challenges normative perspectives of vulnerability and resilience, and prioritizes policy impact.
We were delighted that Jamille Bigio, Senior Coordinator for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in the Office of the Administrator at USAID, keynoted E2A 2024.
Through presentations, panel discussions, and more, E2A explored gender transformative approaches that go beyond merely identifying and analyzing gender-related issues to present new insights that promote gender equity and improved social and economic well-being.
E2A was held in the Green Room of the San Francisco War Memorial and Performing Arts Center. This in-person, half-day event was free and by registration only. CEGA regrets it was unable to accommodate virtual participation or attendance for this in-person event.
