    What can evaluators do to promote equal rights for all, regardless of gender? How can they transform their work into an advocacy for gender equality and social justice?

    Whether they realize it or not, evaluators are in a unique position to shape progress towards gender equality. In recent years, evaluations have increasingly integrated more gender-transformative approaches. But progress on gender quality remains slow. To contribute to transformational change, evaluation needs to embrace a more comprehensive approach.

    Computational methods have revolutionised the sciences, including the social sciences. Researchers are able to experiment with different hypotheses in silico, investigating the dynamics of complex, interdependent systems. Agent-based models simulate people (or firms or other entities) taking actions influenced by their own characteristics and their social and physical environment. These models are particularly good at modelling the heterogeneity of a population and exploring the implications of the interactions between people and their actions.
