Under the gender initiative, Annet Mulema has supported three projects, two of which were completed successfully, and one less so. Gender specialists support non-gender scientists to collect and analyse gender-disaggregated data. They pay attention to decision-making, household relations, and access and control of resources. Some projects are more successful than others: it helps to have the commitment of the principal investigator and from other non-gender scientists.

Open-minded people are necessary to adopt new lines of work, including gender work. Men and women have different views, and sex-disaggregated data can better inform research work.
