CGD Research

Advancing the understanding of gender in the context of disaster risk reduction (DRR), conflict and humanitarian crisis, strengthening the evidence base: ‘gender’ doesn’t just mean ‘women’.

Combining gender and disaster research with other subjects where gender might be absent, overlooked, or not adequately addressed.

Bridging the gaps between theory and practice in gender-integrated research through producing impact-oriented research outcomes and supporting others. 

Providing a multi-sectoral connection space for researchers, students, policy makers, decision makers, NGOs and anyone who shares a desire to work collaboratively to answer difficult questions. Often these stakeholders operate in silos when they could be benefitting from shared experience and expertise.
