Gender and development are a critical approach that recognizes the unique experiences, needs, and challenges of different genders in the pursuit of equitable social and economic progress. It emphasizes the importance of gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) in development projects, aiming to empower women, men, and gender-diverse individuals by ensuring equal opportunities, rights, and access to resources. Through research, advocacy, and community engagement, our projects integrate gender perspectives to ensure that development is inclusive, just, and transformative.
