Center for the Study of Global Gender Equity (CSGGE)

The Center for the Study of Global Gender Equity (CSGGE) formally known as Women and Gender in Global Perspectives Program (WGGP) promotes the study of human development in international settings.  Because such development  has gender, cultural, economic, legal, moral, political, social, and technological dimensions, we emphasize scholarly activities that advance our understanding of how resource  inequalities and gender equity affect individual and community capabilities.  Through a multi-disciplinary approach, we address and critically evaluate human development issues by:

  • Conducting research
  • Impacting policy and decision making as well as practice
  • Educating future academic and policy leaders
  • Engaging academic, policy, government, and non-governmental, and community leaders
  • Highlighting the centrality of gender in human development

The Center for the Study of Global Gender Equity is in the Illinois Global Institute at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. 


Formally known as the Office of Women in International Development (WID) until August 2000.
