Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the health and wellbeing of communities through facilitating dialogue, building capacity and disruptive change. We work with civil society organizations, especially those led by women or other historically excluded groups, policy makers as well as public and private enterprises to develop more inclusive, equal decision-making processes.
About Us
Yarrow Global Consulting gGmbH is a feminist non-profit founded in 2019 that focuses on the intersection of health, gender and the environment. Our name is inspired by the yarrow plant, known for its resiliency and ability to adapt and flourish in eroded environments, and whose medicinal use has been valued for millennia, especially for reproductive health.
Our Focus
Health and wellbeing is at the center of Yarrow’s focus. We partner with local experts and organisations in sustainable, locally conceptualised initiatives that focus on reproductive and maternal health, planetary health and health quality management.
Environmental change and natural resource management are shaped and influenced by existing gender relationships. We assist governments, organisations, and companies to 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 groups, impacting inclusion and decision-making processes. We focus on exploring connections between gender and other identity markers such as race, socioeconomic status, culture or ethnicity and use this diversity to strengthen organisational capacities.
