Gender Equality & Inclusion

Identity-based inequities are obstacles to development at all levels of society. We employ a gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) framework across all of our work to engage staff, partners, participants, and alumni in discussions about reducing identity-based discrimination and marginalization in their communities and institutions.

IREX is a founding partner of the Transforming Agency, Access, and Power (TAAP) Initiative for Inclusive Development. We endorse the Minimum Standards for Mainstreaming Gender Equality.
