The GAD Network is a diverse membership network of leading practitioners, academics and consultants working on gender and development issues in the UK. Our members are very important to us, they determine GADN’s priorities and work areas, the thematic focus of our meetings and the content of our policy responses. 

The GADN has been active in advocacy and awareness-raising on gender and development issues since its founding in 1985. The benefits of being a GADN member include:

• Networking and discussion with experts
• Working with others on your own organisation’s priorities
• Adding strength to your voice by being part of an established network
• Obtaining new ideas and inputs
• Increased efficiency by sharing with others
• Working collectively on GADN strategies and priorities in line with your own shared interests
• Informing others in the sector about your own activities
• Opportunities for support and collaboration and joint activities
