The IGWG organizes regular in-person and virtual events where members from around the world can learn from and connect with each other. These events may be thematic, such as a focus on recent research in the GBV field, or dedicated to capacity strengthening, such as integrating participatory and inclusive evaluation and learning methods in gender transformative global health programming. Our annual IGWG Plenary creates space for members to meet in person and provide feedback on the network as a whole each year.

Presentations and recordings of IGWG events are available online so you can find past events you missed or want to revisit. The presentation materials are also available.

In this informal environment, they will share their reflections on notable turning points for the field; current research, programmatic, and advocacy efforts that are making a difference; and persistent challenges. They will discuss how their own careers have evolved in response to the needs and priorities of the field and offer their thoughts on priorities for the future.
