Promoting Well-Being and Equality

Gender equality and social inclusion are cross-cutting issues in health, economic empowerment, agriculture and other sectors. Across its programming, Abt Associates seeks to rigorously and consultatively identify gender and other social determinants of well-being within each local context. We integrate them into project design to address the impact of activities on all members of society. The goal is to advance gender equality, female empowerment and social inclusion while promoting health and economic well-being for all.
