This course helps participants from different stakeholders groups to learn not just concepts and principles and focuses on operationalizing GESI mainstreaming into climate change and disaster risk reduction.
The Impacts of disasters and climate change is not gender neutral. e disproportionate impacts include social and economic marginalization; barriers in accessing education; gender-based violence, inadequate access to institutional support for relief and recovery, marginalization of health rights and many more. These impacts are a manifestation of inequalities exacerbated by interventions and policies that are blind to social and gender considerations.
It is, therefore, important to mainstream core issues around gender and social marginalization in policies, strategies, action plans and projects in all sectors. This mainstreaming process cannot be an afterthought to policy making and program design and has to begin with the understanding of what climate and disaster risk mean to different vulnerable groups. The challenge that most policymakers, civil society organizations, advocacy groups and other stakeholders is to find the starting point to advocate for and to mainstream gender and social inclusion (GESI) in their areas of work.
