Yarrow Global Consulting

We are focused on changing the orientation of Global Health initiatives from short-term, externally driven health service management solutions to sustainable, locally conceptualized initiatives. We support initiatives that build capacity, strengthen organizations, and place local experts at their core with a focus on reproductive and maternal health, planetary health, and quality management.

Gender is a key determinant for how the impacts of climate change and biodiversity loss are experienced. It also should be a key factor when developing local solutions to environmental change and natural resource management. We help governments, organizations, and companies recognize and incorporate diverse expertise and knowledge, and deliver environmental solutions with a core gender focus.

Gender shapes and reinforces power relations between and among different groups, impacting inclusion and decision-making. At Yarrow we apply an intersectional approach, exposing the dynamics that occur as gender identity interacts or overlaps with other identity markers such as race, socioeconomic status, culture or ethnicity, creating multiple layers of marginalization and discrimination.
