The GEDSI Entry Points series supports UK PACT staff and implementing partners to better appreciate the relationships between GEDSI and sectors we work in, and the various ‘pathways’ that can help to strengthen both the approach and results. This brief focuses on the clean energy sector, providing guidance on reducing energy poverty, creating inclusive livelihoods and leadership opportunities, expanding market activities, and reducing the risk of harm for women and people from excluded groups.

This report provides guidance for UK PACT implementing partners and expert deployments on how to mainstream GEDSI through each stage of the project cycle, with checklists, example activities, and links to further resources.

This info note sets out the approach we take to integrating GEDSI into the CLEAN Helpdesk, which provides technical assistance on climate, environment and nature. We provide GEDSI guidance at every stage, from reviewing the initial terms of reference, to including GEDSI experts in the technical assistance team, and finally reviewing technical assistance outputs from a GEDSI and safeguarding perspective.

This query undertakes research on the relationship between disability and organised crime overseas, at a global level.

This learning paper explores the links between climate, GBV, and disasters in Asia and the Pacific and considers key actions GBV specialists working in settings affected by climate change and disasters can take. Drawing from a desk review of relevant resources, it begins with a brief overview of the intersections of GBV, climate, and disasters, highlighting evidence that women and girls are often the most negatively affected by climate change and disasters yet the most excluded from climate action and disaster risk reduction (DRR), preparedness, response, and recovery.

The aim of this query is to develop a concise and evidence-based Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) Factsheet for Eswatini that highlights key statistics, challenges, and barriers faced by marginalised groups, using an intersectional lens.

It reviews key GEDSI trends and identifies ‘low-cost’ opportunities and entry-points for GEDSI engagement in the country. The analysis is based on a review of published resources, including learning reports, evidence reviews, policy documents, and other analyses.

This query provides an introductory overview of the role and use of AI in Disability Inclusion work globally. It first looks at what evidence, research, and examples exist on the use of AI to support disability inclusion across different sectors, focusing particularly on the fields of education, health, employment, and humanitarian response. It then considers the opportunities created by AI for the inclusion of people with disabilities, before looking at the risks and challenges posed by AI.

This guidance note outlines disability-inclusive safeguarding practices for humanitarian and development programming to ensure the protection and inclusion of persons with disabilities.
