This toolkit provides a structured framework to support individuals, organisations, and communities in integrating gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) into their work. It is built around four components: conducting inclusive training, facilitating participatory planning sessions, designing community-based projects, and supporting policy advocacy. Each section includes step-by-step guidance and practical templates, such as needs assessment questionnaires, stakeholder mapping tools, project prioritisation matrices, and policy brief formats.
The resource is designed to make planning and decision-making more inclusive and responsive to the needs of women, marginalised groups, and diverse stakeholders. By combining participatory methods with actionable tools, it strengthens collaboration, transparency, and local ownership in both project design and policy development.
Sustainedge envisions this toolkit as a catalyst for practitioners, civil society organisations, and policymakers to embed inclusivity in their work and co-create equitable, sustainable solutions with communities. Stakeholders across sectors are encouraged to use it as a practical guide for driving meaningful change and advancing inclusive development.
