Having over 15 years of experience in development projects in the field of environment and energy, I have gained first-hand experience in mainstreaming gender. I found that in most cases counterparts and beneficiaries would raise the same question on gender issues: why did they need to address gender in a technical innovation project? The general bias is that technologies have no apparent gender. The underlying issue, which is that access to technologies is highly influenced by gender, is seldom recognized

I work in the public sector, particularly in international relations. I have conducted several trainings on gender-based violence abroad and gender and development within my organization.
I am an advocate for women's entrepreneurship, financial literacy and gender and development.
I am a freelance research, M&E and Gender consultant with a PhD in psychology. Having worked in both academia and the private sector, I have over 15 years of experience in cognitive and behavioural science research, clinical research, data science & data visualization, and project management.
In my previous role as a Senior Scientist at Philips Research, I set up and led a network of 15 D&I ambassadors from each department in the organisation across EMEA. The main goals were to monitor diversity issues and to collaborate on ideas to promote diversity and inclusion throughout the organisation. In this role, I set up a method for HR to conduct regular gender pay analyses, established a company-wide awareness campaign, and created a data-driven D&I strategy.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in research, both quantitative and qualitative, building and leading inclusive teams, fostering collaboration with different stakeholders, and in developing data-driven strategies. My dedication to meticulous data collection along with my analytical prowess, has enabled me to present precise and informative results that facilitate well-informed decision-making.
I am an ITCILO certified M&E Consultant and an ITCILO certified Gender Auditor.
My name is Alexandra Viola. I am 38 years old and I am Italian.
I have a BA in Political Science and International Relations, an MSc in International Relations, and an LLM in International Crime and Justice. I speak Italian, English, and French. I have a background in gender mainstreaming, human rights and international criminal law, security analysis, open-source intelligence, and threat and risk assessments.
In 2013-2014, I worked as Human Rights Officer for the United Nations Mission in South Sudan where I acted as focal point on GBV and women's rights issues for the Central Equatoria region. I used to organize and implement awareness campaigns on gender equality and women’s rights for elders and community leaders. I was in charge of mainstreaming gender in all the projects implemented by the UN in Central Equatoria. I documented cases of SGBV and referred the victims for psychological-medical-legal support, monitoring the investigations undertaken by the South Sudanese Police and the proceedings in Court. After the re-ignition of the civil war in January 2013, I also investigated CRSV cases committed by both parties to the conflict.
In 2014, I worked as Gender Specialist for FAO, analyzing gender indicators and reporting on the Gender Policy’s implementation. I undertook a stock-taking exercise of the work related to gender in the ESN Division, including progress and performance measurements, I reviewed the gender component (or the lack of it) of its divisional products and outputs.
As Analyst in the Victims and Witnesses Section of the ICC from 2014 till 2022, I used to mainstream gender within the witness protection field.

As a certified Jungian coach, mentor, trainer, and facilitator, my passion lies in bringing people together to unlock collective potential for gender and equity. Organizations seek my expertise when embarking on a journey to transform their gendered cultures by incorporating the voices of their employees. In my role, I train teams, coach individuals, facilitate participatory gender equity audits.
My work is profoundly influenced by systems theory, particularly Theory U, transformational experience design and deep democracy. In all my endeavors and interactions, I seize opportunities to infuse the human touch and cultivate deeper connections, thereby evoking authentic power and innovation.

Hello,
My name is Sapho and I took the PGA certificate in early 2024, because of a genuine interest in gender mainstreaming and organizational management.
I am French citizen, and I have been working in developing countries since 2012 (Cambodia, Vietnam and Madagascar), while gradually gaining new responsibilities and more exposure to leadership and opportunities to coach others.
While studying for my PGA certification, I especially enjoyed the interactions with other eager-to-learn fellow gender specialists and testing different techniques to run fruitful interviews and workshops.
I currently act as International Operations Manager at UNFPA Madagascar, which means that shall I be selected for a PGA, I will not charge anything apart from my daily subsistence allowance while in the field.
I look forward to joining your PGA team or auditing your entity soon!
Best regards,
Sapho.
