 What Works Association, Inc. (WWA) is a 501(c)3 organization that aims to improve the lives of people of all ages and gender identities through evidence-based guidance on policies and programs that promote gender equality and giving voice to individuals and communities. WWA envisions women and men as equals, empowered to have healthy, safe, and satisfying lives.  WWA takes a broad look at gender, environment and other drivers of poor health and disease and provides the most comprehensive review of interventions through a gender equity/equality and human rights lens.

What Works Association has emerged as a “go to” resource for clear perspectives on gender and health; providing evidence and technical assistance for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and more than 10 countries in the Global South. 

How We Work


We tailor our work to reach a variety of audiences – from civil society organizations to ministers of health and education, leaders in bilateral organizations, foundations, and UN agencies, and researchers. Our publications range from reports and briefs to peer-review journal articles.  

We are a flexible group that puts together the right team for the project. Our teams are tailored to ensure the right expertise is available to achieve our goals. With more than 25 years of experience in the field, WWA can tap into leading experts in research, policy and communications/advocacy around the world.
