Background: 
Mercy Corps is a leading global organization powered by the belief that a better world is possible. In disaster, in hardship, in more than 40 countries around the world, we partner to put bold solutions into action — helping people triumph over adversity and build stronger communities from within. Over the past 10 years, Mercy Corps has embarked on a journey to challenge and address gender inequality and social exclusion in our organization, our programs, and our sector. 

Between 2015-2018, Mercy Corps implemented the Building Resilience through Integrating Gender and Empowerment (BRIGE) program funded by the Cargill Foundation. This program aimed to help resilience programs achieve gender equitable and inclusive outcomes by adopting gender transformative approaches at the household and community levels. The BRIGE program team developed a household and community dialogue curricula, which were tested in three countries (Indonesia, Nepal, and Niger). The BRIGE program ended in 2018, however the BRIGE tools have been adopted and adapted by multiple Mercy Corps programs since then. In 2023, Mercy Corps hired an external consultant to review the BRIGE tools as a gender transformative approach (GTA) and share recommendations on how to strengthen the methodology. In 2025, the tools were updated based on the recommendations.

Mercy Corps is now ready to update and revise the monitoring, evaluation, and learning tools that accompany the refreshed BRIGE curricula. The original BRIGE measurement tools require significant revision to ensure usability, flexibility, and alignment with current program priorities. The revised toolkit will streamline content and incorporate practical qualitative and quantitative measurement options.
