The 2020 Index covers four dimensions:

  1. Commitment to gender equality
  2. Gender equality and diversity policies at work
  3. Gender and geography of global health leadership
  4. Gender-responsiveness of health policies and programmes

The 2020 Index brings increasingly rigorous approaches to existing variables, particularly the gender responsiveness of organisation’s programmes and reporting of sex-disaggregated data. Scoring keys for 2020 and 2019 can be found below.

This year’s Index extends and deepens GH5050’s annual analysis with new variables to further explore power and privilege within organisations. These include: workplace diversity and inclusion policies and board diversity policies.

Gender and Health Index

The fifth Global Health 50/50 report, Boards for all?, reviews the gender-related policies and practices of 200 organisations. The organisations reviewed are global organisations (operational in more than three countries) that aim to promote health and/or influence global health policy. The sample covers organisations from 10 sectors, headquartered in 33 countries across seven regions and which employ an estimated 4.5 million people.

The review covers nine variables which assess performance across two interlinked dimensions of inequality: inequality of opportunity in career pathways inside organisations and inequality in who benefits from the global health system.

The 2022 Index hosts new functions to explore the data. This includes sorting and filtering by:

  • organisational performance
  • change in organisations’ scores since 2020
  • whether organisations validated their data, and 
  • whether organisations assessed from 2018 to 2022 have had a woman CEO or board Chair in that period.

Dedicated pages for each organisation can be accessed by clicking next to the name of the organisation.

Gender and Health Index

The Gender & Health Index provides a comprehensive overview of the performance of organisations on their gender-related policies and practices. The organisations reviewed are global organisations (operational in more than three countries) that aim to promote health and/or influence global health policy. The sample covers organisations from 10 sectors, headquartered in 33 countries across seven regions and which employ an estimated 4.5 million people.

The Index covers eleven variables which assess performance across two interlinked dimensions of inequality: inequality of opportunity in career pathways inside organisations and inequality in who benefits from the global health system.

The 2023 data comes from our latest report, the sixth Global Health 50/50 Report: Workplaces: worse for women, which in addition to our annual review, contains a deep dive into how organisations are supporting reproductive rights and justice in their workplaces. 

All of our data from 2018 onwards can be viewed and downloaded through the Index. Readers can also access sector, size of organisation, organisational performance, change in organisations’ scores since 2020, and whether organisations validated their data. Dedicated pages for each organisation can be accessed by clicking next to the name of the organisation or viewing organisational profile pages.

Our self-assessment tool enables organisations to conduct their own reviews of policies and practices with results available immediately.
