The Chroma Collective is a network of leading donor and financing institutions committed to advancing gender equality in global development. Chroma members are gender practitioners within these institutions who are tasked with ‘gender mainstreaming’, a process of integrating a gender lens into all aspects of an organization’s external programming, as well as its internal policies, systems, and culture.

Using design innovation, members build on their strong track record in gender mainstreaming to jointly address entrenched challenges and co-create innovative solutions to meet their institution’s gender equality commitments. Additionally, Chroma provides a safe and supportive space for its members to harness their collective power and advance the gender ecosystem more broadly.

Currently, Chroma members are focused on mapping and strengthening the gender funding ecosystem; bridging silos with the private sector and climate change actors; and leveraging their individual and collective power to advance gender equality commitments, practices, and outcomes globally across governments, multilateral banks and UN agencies, and philanthropies.
