About: BRIDGE Vision – Gender knowledge for a fairer world:
BRIDGE strives for a just world where gender and other equalities are an outcome of development, facilitated/championed by Southern and Northern institutions in which gender issues have been successfully mainstreamed. BRIDGE will support such endeavours through catalytic knowledge creation and management that encourages the multi-directional sharing of ideas and experiences, and pushes the boundaries of ‘what is knowledge’ and ‘who learns from whom’.
BRIDGE Mission – Supporting gender advocacy and mainstreaming efforts:
BRIDGE seeks to transform development practice by supporting global gender advocacy and mainstreaming efforts down to the operational level, by bridging the gaps between theory, policy and practice. This will be undertaken through accessible and appropriate knowledge creation, sharing, and management, in long-term collaboration involving mutual capacity-building with Southern and Northern partners.
Our work is directed by an International Advisory Committee of gender specialists.
BRIDGE work is supported by the following agencies:
- Department for International Development, UK (DFID)
- The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida)
- The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC)
- Irish Aid.
