Abstract:

The Women + Water Alliance is a global development alliance (GDA) between USAID and Gap Inc. and its partners, CARE, Water.org, WaterAid, the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC), International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) and the Institute for Development Impact. This infographic developed by I4DI outlines the key outcomes of the activities of the Women + Water alliance in relation to women’s agency and self efficacy. Women’s empowerment improved among direct P.A.C.E. participants but not among the broader community and women’s engagement in community water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) planning in the intensive WaterAid communities resulted in meaningful improvements to WASH management.

Description:

Women + Water (W+W) is a six year (2017-2023) Global Development Alliance between USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) and Gap Inc. that is committed to improving and sustaining the health and well-being of women and communities touched by the apparel industry in India. The alliance brought together CARE, WaterAid, Water.org, and the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC) to deliver converging activities related to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). I4DI, as the alliance’s learning partner, conducted an endline evaluation of the program in mid-2022 to determine the extent to which the W+W Alliance contributed to improved well-being in target communities.

The infographic titled “Gender Pay Gap in the United States, September 18, 2023” by Andrea Pozderac and Azra K. Nurkic, sheds light on the persistent gender wage disparity in the U.S. In 2023, women earned 84.5 cents for every dollar earned by men, indicating a 15.5 cent gap. The infographic explores various factors contributing to this gap, such as occupational segregation, work experience, and educational attainment. It also highlights state-wise disparities, with Connecticut showing the smallest gap and Utah the largest. Additionally, it underscores the overrepresentation of women in lower-paying jobs and the challenges faced by women of color.
