Our Story What Works Association, Inc. (WWA) was established in 2013 with the aim of improving 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 envisioned women and men as equals, empowered to have healthy, safe, and satisfying lives. WWA took a broad look at gender, environment and other drivers of poor health and disease and provided the most comprehensive review of interventions through a gender equity/equality and human rights lens.
WWA authored the award-winning website What Works for Women and Girls: Evidence for HIV/AIDS Interventions;www.whatworksforwomen.org. What Works Association was a “go to” resource for clear perspectives on gender and health; providing evidence and technical assistance for UNAIDS, UNFPA, WHO, UNDP, UN Women, UNICEF, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, Women4GlobalFund, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, USAID, PEPFAR, Population Council, Palladium (formerly Futures Group), Public Health Institute, and Institute for Reproductive Health, The ATHENA Network, Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, Nike Foundation, ViiV Healthcare and Open Society Foundations, and more than 10 countries in the Global South. Our publications, which range from tools, reports and briefs to peer-review journal articles, are still available on this website (see Publication and Our Work pages). |
