Gender Practice Self-Assessment
Gender equity is not a policy. It is a practice.
A free, confidential self-assessment from Climate Asia that helps civil society organisations understand where their everyday gender practice stands today, and identify a realistic next step.
Takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Confidential. You will receive a personalised report. Starting the assessment will open a secure form in a new tab.
What this is, and is not
- A private, internal reflection tool
- A way to see your own practice clearly
- A starting point for a realistic next step
- Not a compliance audit
- Not shared outside your organisation without your consent
Why gender equity within the organisation matters
Most civil society organisations are built around a mission of fairness for the communities they serve. That same standard does not always extend inward, to hiring, leadership pipelines, pay conversations, everyday safety, and the distribution of influence in decision-making.
Gender equity within an organisation is not a separate conversation from its mission. It shapes how decisions are made, who stays and who leaves, and ultimately the quality and credibility of the work itself.
Most teams already have a general sense of where they stand. This tool is designed to turn that sense into a clearer, structured picture.
Practice areas covered by the assessment
- Leadership and decision-making
- Policies and how they are actually used
- Everyday culture and workplace safety
- Pay, growth and opportunity
- Voice and accountability

Frequently asked questions
A few things people usually want to know before they start.
Who should complete this assessment?
Anyone with visibility into how your organisation operates day to day, typically someone in a leadership, HR, or programme role. Some organisations have more than one person complete it and compare results.
Do we need approval before starting?
No. The assessment is designed to be completed independently, and many people complete it before deciding whether to share the results internally.
What happens to our responses?
Responses are used only to generate your organisation's own report and anonymised benchmarking data. Your email address is used only to deliver that report.
Is there a cost?
No. The assessment, your report, and the accompanying resources are free.
Can we complete it more than once?
Yes. Organisations are encouraged to reassess after making changes, to track what has shifted and where to focus next.
