Our mission and values
At the heart of our research center is a commitment to conducting rigorous, impactful, and transparent research that drives meaningful change. Our mission is to address societal challenges through cutting-edge statistical methodologies, focusing on issues of equity, data quality, and methodological transparency. In this section, you will discover our core values and the principles that guide our work, from ethical practices to empowering local communities. Together, we aim to advance knowledge and create opportunities that inspire a better future for all.
Research ethics
We believe that integrity is the cornerstone of impactful research. Our commitment to ethical practices ensures that every study we conduct respects participants, communities, and the data we work with. By prioritizing methodological transparency and addressing data limitations, we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of accuracy and fairness. Our dedication to ethics not only safeguards the trust of those we serve but also strengthens the credibility of the scientific process.
Gender Justice
Data is a powerful tool to shine a light on gender inequalities. We are committed to using our expertise to visibilize the systemic barriers that women and girls face locally and globally. Through evidence-based research, we advocate for policies and practices that foster equity, justice, and empowerment. Our work is a call to action: to dismantle inequities, amplify marginalized voices, and create a world where gender is never a barrier to opportunity.
Mentoring
We believe in creating dignified and transformative opportunities for local women of every age and girls who are passionate about science. By investing in mentorship, we equip the current and generations with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in applied research. Our center is a space where they can earn a fair wage, grow their expertise, and contribute to advancing methodologies that make science more inclusive and impactful. Through mentorship, we plant the seeds for a brighter and more equitable future.
Roots
No one should have to choose between their roots and their passion for science. We are proud to create opportunities for researchers to conduct world-class studies within their community of origin. Our center was founded on the principle that knowledge and impact thrive best when researchers stay connected to their roots. By empowering local talent, we challenge the status quo and prove that meaningful contributions to science can and should originate from within local communities.
