Founded in 1997, Promundo was born out of frustration with the prevailing discourses about gender equality and efforts to put those discourses into action, practice and policy. The institute has concentrated on developing evaluated interventions and advocacy strategies to achieve gender equality with a focus on engaging men and boys in changing inequitable and violent forms of masculinities.
Promundo works locally, nationally, and internationally to:
- Conduct research to build the knowledge base on masculinities and gender equality;
- Develop, evaluate and scale up gender transformative interventions and policies;
- Carry out national and international advocacy to achieve gender equality and social justice.
Promundo designs, implements, and evaluates its research and evidence-based programs in close partnership with local, not-for-profit Civil Society Organizations. In recent years, Promundo has been increasingly recognized for promoting the role of men and boys in achieving gender equality.
