THE FOUNDATION
The Gender Equity Index
The diagnostic standard behind GENLIN.
WHAT IT IS
Assesses organizational capacity for gender-responsive program design — across training, decision-making, policy, MEL, and field team composition.
Self-assessed, with Equal Origins reviewing for coherence — not to score, but to ensure findings are actionable.
Free and open. Already in use across cocoa and coffee supply chains globally.
HOW IT BECOMES ACTION
Diagnostic. Validated picture of where a team stands.
Interpretation. Equal Origins helps each team make sense of findings — what's a real constraint, what's noise.
Development Plan. A Gender Equity Development Plan: a prioritized roadmap that anchors progress and investment.
