Support to the Gender & Health Equity Network (GHEN) - India, China and Mozambique
Since 2003, Health Partners International has been supporting the international Gender and Health Equity Network (GHEN).
This network is a partnership of individuals and institutions committed to demonstrating, through applied research, the case for taking gender equity issues into account in health policy and programming.
The current phase of network activity is focusing on the implementation of action research projects in Mozambique, India and China.
The projects will contribute towards strengthening the evidence on gender inequalities in health, and on the relationship between gender, poverty and health in contexts where very little documented case study material exists.
The findings and lessons learned are to be widely disseminated to policy-makers, practitioners, and researchers.
The aim is to provide practical tools and resources that can be used to integrate gender and health equity concerns into health-related work in different sectors.
