Dr. Chandni Tyagi’s Post

At the risk of churning up a cliché, human beings are social animals. We often factor into our decisions what others do, and what they expect us to do - irrespective of whether we comply with said expectations. It is therefore prudent to incorporate measurement of social norms into development interventions meant to solve 'wicked' problems. Our upcoming webinar in March will discuss the merit of incorporating norms measurement and the diversity of measurement approaches we can employ. Stay tuned!

If cooperating means that everyone in the team gets a reward, children aged five years learn to develop social norms that go beyond merely describing the behaviour required for winning and communicate them to new members - suggests this study conducted in Germany. This presents a valuable opportunity to solve collective action dilemmas by developing cooperative norms for achieving a win-win outcome.

💡 Addressing regional gender data gasps in crime statistics I still remember publishing my first research study and realizing the impact I could have through data and knowledge. This feeling has stayed with me, especially when it comes to under reported areas like gender and crime. Gender-sensitive research and statistics are crucial but often lacking. Last week, I had the privilege of traveling to Japan for a mission with UNODC KOSTAT Center of Excellence, the UN Women Center of Excellence and SIAP. We conducted a regional #training for statistical #counterparts, focusing on crime and gender data needs for SDG 5 and SDG 16 🕊️ Here are some key lessons: 📊Structured Approach: Integrating gender considerations needs careful planning and a structured approach throughout the research cycle, rather than ad hoc decisions. 📊Going the Extra Mile: For research and interventions to be truly effective, we must ensure women’s perspectives are fully reflected in the data we collect, even if that means additional resources and stretching beyond traditional approaches. 📊Embracing Change: Change can be challenging and may require us to rethink established methods, but it opens up new possibilities. As someone who once dreamed of becoming a Japanologist when I was younger, it was a joy to be in Chiba for this significant week. I’m grateful for the new connections and the communities of practice we began to build. Excited to leverage these insights and connections to advance our shared goals and make a tangible impact. Here’s to moving the agenda forward together! 🚀Hansol Jung Claudia Pontoglio Christophe Bontemps Claire, Eunkoo, Sinovia (PS: I swear it was more fun than the picture suggests! 😄)

Attempts to implement gender segregation are not new in Israeli society. What is new, however, is the combination of egregiously low levels of women represented in key decision-making positions combined with increasing attempts of lawmakers and public institutions to promote such segregation. https://lnkd.in/djuvA-mw Israel Democracy Institute

Gender inequality doesn’t stop in a crisis. It may actually make things worse. That's why gender-sensitive evaluations are needed more than ever to address the unique challenges faced by women, men, and children in humanitarian settings. Ways for more gender-sensitive evaluations include: 📌 Having gender indicators 📌 Collecting gender disaggresgated data 📌 Addressing gender-based violence risks How does this look like in practice? Join the webinar that is conducted in collaboration with The Ukrainian Evaluation Association, where Dmytro Kondratenko will share practical insights on evaluating humanitarian action.
