Education and continuity
How schooling, interruption, re-entry, and continued learning shape the options a woman can act on.
Research
What expands a woman's ability to act?
Neni develops accessible research and analysis examining how education, skills, work, income, relationships, policies, and institutions shape women's choices.
Our approach
Clear questions. Plain language. Practical use.
We study the relationships among education, skills, work, income, institutions, and choice, and we write about them in language people can actually use.
Our research is written for practitioners, policymakers, funders, employers, and the women and girls the work is about. Findings inform how our programs are designed and adapted in each community.
Lines of inquiry
What we examine
Five connected lenses help us understand where pathways open, where they narrow, and what can make opportunity more reachable.
Skills and credentials
How training and credentials connect — or fail to connect — to work that pays and advances.
Work and income
How paid experience, earnings, and progression change what a woman is able to choose.
Institutions and systems
How employers, schools, public agencies, laws, policies, and community institutions widen or narrow the pathway between learning and earning.
Relationships and networks
How mentorship, trust, and access to people with information affect what opportunities become reachable.
Collaborate
Turn knowledge into pathways that work.
We welcome collaboration with researchers, practitioners, employers, and funders examining education, workforce systems, economic opportunity, and women's agency.
