Evidence that advances women's and girls' rights
NAWAD uses research and learning to strengthen its work with women, girls and communities. We generate and use evidence to understand the challenges people face, identify approaches that work, and inform programmes, advocacy and policy.
Our research is grounded in lived experience. We work with communities and partners to ensure their knowledge and perspectives shape the questions we ask, how we interpret findings, and how results are shared.
Our research priorities
Our research and learning focus on issues connected to women’s and girls’ social, economic and environmental justice, including:
- Women’s economic empowerment, livelihoods and access to resources
- Youth wellbeing (education, skills and transition to work)
- Gender equality and women’s leadership
- Climate resilience, agriculture and livelihoods
- Gender-based violence, safety and safeguarding
- Clean Energy, natural resources and community governance
These priorities reflect NAWAD’s programmes and partnerships. They may evolve as community needs and the wider context change.
How we work
We use research and learning to listen, analyse and act. Depending on the purpose of a study, our work may include surveys, interviews, group discussions, participatory tools and programme learning.
We aim to:
- Involve women, girls and other community members in shaping and interpreting research;
- Recognise differences in people’s experiences, including differences related to age, disability, location and economic circumstances;
- Uphold informed consent, confidentiality, dignity and safeguarding;
- Collaborate with research institutions, civil society organisations and public agencies; and
- Share findings in accessible formats that can support practical action.
- Clean Energy, natural resources and community governance
Managing and sharing knowledge
Knowledge management helps NAWAD retain and use what it learns across programmes and partnerships. We document experiences, research findings and lessons from implementation, then share them with the people and institutions who can use them.
We aim to make our knowledge useful to communities, practitioners, researchers, decision-makers and development partners through reports, policy briefs, learning materials, presentations and other resources.
