Upstream Sex and Gender Integration Marker
This Upstream Sex and Gender Integration Marker is a learning tool for the foundation’s upstream health investments. It is intended to be used by investment owners when designing and refining an investment and to spark conversation with grantees.
The purpose of this tool is to enable investment owners and teams to more intentionally integrate relevant considerations on:
- Sex as a biological variable—anatomy, physiology, genetics, hormones, etc.—and/or
- Gender —social variables such as roles, norms, relations, and power.
The tool was updated in November 2024.
