Turning a gender lens into smarter investment decisions.

A responsive, sector-specific resource hub and scoring experience that turns research into practical questions, personalized scorecards, and clear next steps.

The challenge

How do you make rigorous gender research usable at the moment an investment decision is made?

Gender-related risks and opportunities look different across industries, business models, and value chains. ICRW needed a connected digital experience that could organize a deep evidence base, guide users to the right sector-specific resources, and translate complex inputs into practical investment insight.

The responsive ICRW resource hub shown across laptop, tablet, and smartphone screens with Agriculture, Off-Grid Energy, Power Infrastructure, and Health pathways.

Start with the sector

One system for four different industries.

The hub brings agriculture, off-grid energy, power infrastructure, and healthcare into a shared visual and navigation system. Each sector retains its own context while giving investors a consistent way to move among opportunities, scoring tools, and case studies.

Sector-specific scoring

The right questions change with the industry.

Responsive, multi-step scorecards guide users through company background, workplace practices, and sector value-chain questions. Progress indicators, clear groupings, and familiar form controls make a detailed assessment easier to understand and complete across devices.

From responses to insight

A scorecard that shows where to look next.

Results are organized into an overall score, a value-chain score, and gender equity in the workplace. Color-coded bars and category-level detail make strengths and gaps visible at a glance — helping users identify where deeper analysis and action may be most valuable.

Consistent, not generic

A shared experience with sector-specific depth.

Agriculture, off-grid energy, power infrastructure, and healthcare use the same recognizable interface while adapting the content, pathways, and assessment logic to each industry. The result is a system that feels cohesive without flattening important differences between sectors.
