To strengthen competencies of Ministry of Health multidisciplinary personnel in understanding the role of gender as a social determinant of health, in intersectoral interventions, in health research and other health fields.

To reflect on the implementation of research and analyse the inclusion or not of a gender perspective in research.

To provide a set of methodological tools and examples for integrating a gender perspective in research

To provide a set of methodological tools and examples for integrating a gender perspective in research.

This MOOC aims to provide hands-on training on implementation research. By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Design your own implementation research projects with an intersectional gender lens;
- Critically evaluate and use the evidence produced by other implementation research projects; and
- Commission robustly designed implementation research projects that take into account gender dimensions and other intersecting axes of inequality.

This toolkit aims to strengthen the capacity of researchers working on infectious diseases of poverty by incorporating an intersectional gender approach. The objectives of this document are to: 1) strengthen the research capacity of disease-affected countries in intersectional gender approaches; 2) understand and address barriers to effective and quality implementation of health interventions oriented to prevent and control infectious diseases; and 3) explore solutions for enhancing equality in access to quality health care.

TDR's intersectional gender analysis toolkit aims to strengthen the capacity of researchers working on infectious diseases of poverty by incorporating an intersectional gender approach. Gender, sex and their intersections with other social variables influence everyone's health.

Understanding how and why is important for decision-makers and health practitioners to improve the health of their citizens.

An intersectional gender lens is important for inclusive and responsive infectious disease research programmes and universal health coverage efforts towards “leaving no one behind”. TDR supports and promotes an intersectional gender approach to research, ultimately focusing on the impact of gender dynamics and interconnected inequalities for the prevention and control of infectious diseases of poverty.
This strategy focuses on:
• Building research capacities on intersectional gender analysis in research on infectious diseases.
• Supporting intersectional gender analysis in research for implementation, to generate new evidence and knowledge on the intersections of gender and other social variables that influence the way in which implementation strategies work.
• Generating evidence on gender-intersecting inequalities in access to health services and those that influence differentials in vulnerability to, and the impact of, health conditions associated with infectious diseases in LMICs.
• Promoting an inclusive infectious disease research agenda
