WISER: Gender, Equity and Social Inclusion Plan

Tender description

<p>Please see Project Attachments for the TOR's for this work. As identified by WISER Fund Management and FCDO, gender needed to have greater focus in the WISER programme and project design. The WISER Data Systems Review report undertaken by TetraTech (Nov &rsquo;20) noted that &lsquo;Efforts to disaggregate data by gender, disability or location were not systematically integrated into the design of projects which made it difficult to retrospectively do with variable MEL capacity across projects&rsquo; and made a recommendation to FCDO to prioritise resourcing GESI. During the WISER Partner Learning Event (April &rsquo;21), there was a session dedicated to exploring inclusivity and gender integration. The session brought project partners together to discuss what had and hadn&rsquo;t worked well, success factors and challenges and allowed the group to develop recommendations to support future design. The key recommendation was the need to go beyond simply &lsquo;integrating&rsquo; gender and social inclusion into projects and programmes and move toward making it a core objective of effective climate service uptake.</p> Keywords: gender
