The Team
The Gender Equality Division’s mission it to ensure women and girls in Africa and South Asia can enjoy good health, make their own choices, earn their own money, and be leaders in their societies. When women and girls have an equal chance to thrive and lead, everyone benefits. We seek to address these compounding barriers through deep partnership with our grantees. As a philanthropy, our role is to listen to and learn from these experts. We take risks in new areas, prove concepts, and bring these ideas to governments, partner organizations, and private sector companies to scale. The Gender Equality (GE) Division builds off our existing strengths as a foundation in areas like global health and data, partnering closely with all our global divisions.

The Women’s Health Innovations (WHI) team under the GE Division is a new team focused on developing and accelerating the introduction and scale of interventions that disproportionately impact health and economic outcomes for women and girls. A priority area for WHI is contraceptive technology and family planning methods. While innovative products are in development, we are also focused on ensuring that we are optimizing our delivery of in-market commodities. A key challenge that continues to face the family planning market is the tracking of inventory throughout the value chain across both public and private sectors. Without visibility into the detailed inventory movement, we will continue to struggle in understanding how to optimize supply chain operations for priority family planning methods in-country.
