Following the January kickoff with the GE team and the subsequent survey, we identified 4 initial hypotheses.
For this initial investment, we will be focusing on :
We’ve further detailed these hypotheses through a Learning Agenda, which includes high-level indicative questions that we’re using to develop a more detailed Research Guide.
We’re partnering with DODO Design, our local design partner in Nigeria, to assemble the panels of women and to develop the Research Guide to test the Learning Agenda, and to synthesize what we’re hearing from the panels of women into data, findings, and insights.
In parallel, we’ve designed and developed a two-part data and insight Platform for the Gates D&I team:
The Platform will capture and record all the data we collect throughout the project. This ensures we have a central repository for all information.
The Platform will also enable the Gates D&I team to directly interact with the data. This includes qualitative findings and insights from workshops conducted with women's panels. The goal is to create a clear path for the team to connect research hypotheses to real-world stories, quotes, and insights gathered from the women themselves.
While version 1 of the Platform won’t be accessible until January 2025, here’s a sneak peak of the wireframes to provide you an idea of what to expect on this Platform:
The 4 hypotheses with the audio essays for all per country.
Reframed Hypothesis with sub-sections for insights, snapshots and opportunity areas.
