Projects

Perform2Scale is a five year research project designed to develop and evaluate a sustainable approach to scaling up a district-level Management Strengthening Intervention (MSI) in Malawi, Uganda and Ghana. Through context analysis and process evaluation, KIT Royal Tropical Institute is helping the scale-up of the MSI to respond to different and changing decentralised contexts across these countries.

Since 2016, KIT Royal Tropical Institute has supported the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to develop a global leadership role to facilitate experience sharing and policy influencing on gender equality integration in the mining sector.

MFA leads the Women’s Rights and Mining (WRM) multi-stakeholder initiative that aims to establish a better understanding of gender dimensions of mining and create awareness and secure commitment to take action and uphold women’s rights in mineral supply chains. The Ministry has led this initiative since 2017.
