The resource guides AMR research teams in integrating a gender and equity lens, emphasising the necessity of such considerations in innovation, intervention, and implementation research.
A learning and solutions tool to identify and address gender and equity issues in the access, uptake and delivery of immunization by clients and providers.
Designed for social and behaviour change (SBC), immunization and health teams, as well as national partners responsible for the planning and implementation of immunization demand efforts, this report provides guidance on how to integrate a gender perspective with concrete recommendations. The report starts by introducing demand generation in the context of immunization and the gender responsive continuum. Then, it outlines recommendations for integrating gender into immunization demand promotion activities using the SBC programme cycle as a framework. Illustrative examples are embedded throughout in order to make this resource user-friendly and actionable.

It is designed to support the delivery of gender-transformative group education processes to men and women.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Regional Office for South Asia (ROSA) prepared this practical guide to help health professionals integrate a gender lens in immunisation programmes by identifying how gender norms, roles, and relations affect health-related behaviours, outcomes, and health sector responses.
This compendium of case studies – from Liberia, Mozambique, Pakistan, Rwanda, Sudan and Yemen – describes immunization demand programmes with an explicit gender focus led by UNICEF country offices. These include stand-alone immunization efforts as well as integrated programmes where immunization is part of a package of essential life-saving practices. Routine and COVID-19 vaccine interventions are included. The cases comprise both gender responsive and transformative interventions.
This toolkit was developed to support organisations, step-by-step, in their journey towards gender transformation. It contains a participatory gender self-assessment in 3 stages designed to assess the organisational commitments and practices, and to which extent they integrate a gender-transformative approach. It supports the process of self-reflection about how gender-transformative approaches are realised and practised within the organisation’s own structures and networks. It provides guidelines to take affirmative action through an Organisational Gender Action Plan (OGAP) which can be implemented and measured over time.
