As a collaboration of six implementation research grants on gender transformative approaches to sexual, reproductive and maternal health across Africa, we convened a conversation to discuss how intersectionality applied to our work.
The Gender Transformation for Africa (GT4Africa) Cohort Writing Workshop was held from 9-13 September 2024 in Cape Town, South Africa with 21 participants across the 6 projects and 13 organisations.
The first in-person GT4Africa cohort workshop deliberated on Research Publications, Knowledge Translation, and Sustainability and collaborated on a forthcoming journal supplement and commentaries.
The three-day validation workshop held in Cape Town from May 8-10, 2024, brought together 20 feminist - researchers, academics, implementers, and activists from 12 countries and 16 institutions in Africa.
Despite growing recognition, calls for gender transformation are not matched with corresponding rigorous research and learning on what it entails at scale and over time. It is common to come across published papers that merely mention the need for more gender responsive / transformative interventions/approaches but often fall short of articulating, why, how and what is needed to move the needle forward.
The School of Public Health recently began work on two exciting aspects of a global research project focusing on gender transformative approaches to improve sexual, reproductive and maternal health in Africa.
