About the team - The World Bank’s Gender Innovation Lab (GIL) seeks to identify effective policies to address gender inequality in Africa, particularly in promoting women’s economic opportunity and social empowerment. To do this, GIL produces new evidence for decision-makers in government and the private sector on what does and does not work in addressing the underlying causes of gender inequality, and on how best to close gender gaps in earnings, productivity, assets, property rights, and agency. GIL’s ultimate objective is to increase the take-up of effective policies and programs by governments and the private sector. To identify the most effective interventions, GIL carries out rigorous impact evaluations of gender-innovative interventions in the areas of agricultural productivity, entrepreneurship, employment, and economic empowerment in Africa. The work is carried out in partnership with units across the World Bank, aid agencies and donors, governments, non-governmental organizations, private sector firms, and researchers.
