Summary
On February 27, 2018, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Team (BMGF-WSH) held a webinar to present the findings of the report, Gender in the Sanitation Value Chain: A Review of the Evidence.

The webinar provided the following:
- An update on the steps we have taken at the foundation to build our gender capacity internally;
- A look at where the foundation’s gender equality strategy is going;
- A deep dive into evidence; and
