One of the functions of NGEC is to conduct and co-ordinate research that will inform policies and programmes for promoting gender equality and freedom from discrimination. The Commission will improve availability of information on gender equality and inclusion as well as the status of participation and representation of SIGs in national development. This will be achieved through partnership and collaboration with public and private institutions as well as development partners on content and areas of research and knowledge management.

Additionally, the Commission will develop a database that will consolidate, avail and disseminate data on the status of integration of principles of equality and inclusion desegregated fully of categories of SIG’s.
