A Global Innovation Lab for Equality (aGILE) is a lab and platform designed to support solving complex inequality problems and scaling innovative solutions for impact, from local to global.
Two Tracks
aGILE supports two tracks of initiatives for projects with partners:

New solution or approach to solve
a complex inequality problem

Existing innovative solution or approach to refine and/or scale
Portfolio
At aGILE, we believe in rapid prototyping and iteration with validated ideas receiving support to be scaled to multiple contexts.
Track 1: Co-designing New Solutions

Engaging New Voters in South Africa
In the last two decades, electoral participation among young South Africans has declined due to their disillusionment with the electoral system. In collaboration with Oxfam South Africa, aGILE is testing a social media and arts-based campaign to increase voter engagement among young African voters.

Increasing Migrant Rights in Colombia
The Venezuelan migration crisis has led to an influx of migrants entering Colombia, where they lack access to basic necessities. aGILE, Oxfam Colombia, and local partners are validating solutions that will improve migrants’ access to healthcare and clean water.

Innovating for a resilient Asia
aGILE and the Asia Innovation Incubation Lab are crafting an ecosystem roadmap for Oxfam in Asia. The roadmap will systematically nurture and scale innovative solutions in Asia while fostering a culture of rapid experimentation.
Track 2: Scaling Existing Innovations

Scaling local care policies
The Care Policy Score Card (CPSC) is a tool for enhancing local care policies at subnational and national levels. With Oxfam America's Gender Justice & Inclusion Hub and Oxfam Pilipina, aGILE is testing and scaling the CPSC in the Philippines.
