The Gender Equality Disability and Social Inclusion Self-Assessment Tool (GEDSI SAT) is a facilitation guide for climate resilience and development program managers, GEDSI advisers, researchers and interested members of staff that is designed to support individual and collective reflective practice on the extent and quality of gender equality, disability and social inclusion work in programs and organisations. Drawing on a wealth of experience from across Water for Women (WfW) projects, partners and cross-sectoral collaborators, and building on the original WASH focused GESI SAT co-created by WfW and the Sanitation Learning Hub (SLH) in 2021, this revised cross-sectoral GEDSI SAT has an explicit climate resilience focus and is grounded in locally led approaches and deep learning.
