Following a series of workshops with BASIC’s Community of Practice on Gender and Nuclear Weapons: Measuring the Impact, this report presents tangible steps to evaluate the impact of gender work in the nuclear policy field.
Authored by BASIC Policy Fellow, Laura Rose Brown, the report maps the landscape of gender and nuclear weapons, to engage with critical questions about how impact is understood within current approaches to gendering nuclear weapons policy. Key takeaways include the need to reconsider who is made responsible for gender work, and which resources are made available to ensure the success and sustainability of approaches to gendering nuclear policy.
The Community of Practice explored key challenges in doing gender work, relating to both the specific dynamics of the nuclear policy field, and in broadening understandings of impact. The report concludes with an evaluation framework, designed as a tool for organisations and individuals to consider gender programme design in intersectional terms.
BASIC is grateful to the Nuclear Threat Initiative for the generous funding awarded for this project.
