Our Ideas

This year, we’re celebrating International Women's Day by sharing how we strive to apply a gender lens to every Dalberg project. Here is how we are applying it to our WASH practice area.

Dalberg’s five-part series in the The Wire introduces the situation of sanitation workers in India; their different personas, the challenges they face, and the techno-social-financial-policy solutions that are essential to improving this situation.

Dalberg Media supported messaging, communications and the launch of the report ‘A World of Opportunities for Danish Businesses’.

Dalberg Media looks forward to supporting UNLEASH 2019 in Shenzhen, China. UNLEASH is a global initiative envisioning to build the world’s leading platform for novel and scalable solutions to reach the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each year, leading up to 2030, 1,000 handpicked talents will come together for a 10 immersive days of co-creation, with the goal of developing smart, implementable and scalable solutions to the SDGs.

We are a mission driven media consultancy aiming to increase awareness and mobilize partners and resources to the global development agenda.

Dalberg Media works with the association Sustainable Now to build public-facing festivals focused on the UN Sustainable Development Goals in cooperation with local municipalities in Denmark. Sustainable Now puts the SDGs on the agenda in municipalities to increase citizens' knowledge and commitment to the sustainable transition towards 2030.

Dalberg is increasingly striving to adopt a gender lens across all of our project work, across sectors. In celebration of this year’s International Women’s Day, we share three recent project spotlights from across our portfolio of work, where adopting a gender lens has allowed us to drive value for our clients, and deepen the impact of our engagements. The outputs of these projects include: a guide on gender-sensitive service provision to smallholder farmers, a platform to increase employment opportunities for women in the creative industries, and a set of investment criteria that G7 development finance institutions can use to mobilize gender lens investing commitments and define eligible investments.

Dalberg, in collaboration with The Centre for Social Behaviour Change at Ashoka University and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, launched a public data set and tool to enable better design for financial health in India.
It is unique in using a multi-method research approach including human-centered design, cognitive psychology, behavioral science, and large-scale survey-based methods together to understand consumers.

Design principles are guidelines that specify the end user experience for a product. The seven principles in this set are illustrated to help deliver a financial product that meets low-income consumers where they are, and where they want to be.
