This new report from SEI draws on experiences with our LEAP and WEAP software tools to provide guidance for mainstreaming gender and social equity issues into modelling studies to support policy-making and planning.

There is a growing recognition of the importance of equity in development policy and research. Not only do the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) explicitly include a goal to "achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls", but numerous gender-related indicators have been identified to track progress on the goals. Achieving gender equity and, more broadly, social equity will require new tools and approaches. SEI works regularly with decision-makers in developing countries to support sustainable development. This new document examines how those interactions can provide a platform for advancing gender equity and inclusion.
