What is Gender-Based Analysis
Plus (GBA+)?

Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) is a practical decision-making and leadership tool used globally to design better policies, programmes, research, and services.

It helps you ask smarter questions:

  • · Who is affected?
  • · Who benefits?
  • · Who is being left out and why?

GBA+ goes beyond gender to consider how age, disability, location, socio-economic status, and other factors shape real-life outcomes. The result? Clearer thinking, stronger solutions, and more credible leadership.

Why GBA+ Matters for
South Africa

South Africa needs leaders and professionals who can navigate complexity, inequality, and diverse realities and still deliver results.

GBA+ equips you to:

Design policies and programmes that work in real communities
Improve service delivery and public impact
Strengthen accountability and evidence-based decision-making
Respond effectively to women, youth and persons with disabilities inclusion challenges

For students, emerging leaders, and public servants, GBA+ is not theory, it is a career-ready skill aligned with how modern institutions operate.
