The Hub collaborates with Operating Units (OUs) across the Agency supporting USAID’s programming globally, in all sectors. It promotes evidence-based gender equality and women’s empowerment programming throughout the Agency through its technical outreach and thought leadership, training, technical assistance, and communication outreach. GenDev works to support missions in meeting policy and law requirements as it relates to conducting and using the results from gender analyses to inform strategy and project development and design. USAID/Cameroon is embarking on the development of a strategic framework (SF) to guide future investments and programming.

Sectors include, Health and Democracy, Rights, and Governance (DRG) focusing on consultations with local Cameroonian entities and opportunities in the development and humanitarian nexus. The gender and inclusive development analysis will focus on identifying: 1) Nationwide gender gaps and root causes of gender inequalities relevant to the above sectors and targeted marginalized groups identified and 2) Opportunities to reduce gender gaps and address root causes of gender inequality to achieve sector objectives and promote gender equality and inclusive development.
