Inclusion is designed in from the start and measured throughout. We implement women’s economic empowerment frameworks, GESI approaches, and GALS facilitation for household and enterprise change. We measure poverty using the Progress out of Poverty Index and the Multidimensional Poverty Index and we design disability inclusion metrics that go beyond counting to capture access, voice, and outcomes.
Inclusion
Inclusion your donors can audit — and your beneficiaries can feel.
If inclusion is only in the narrative, it is not in the program. We build it into the measurement so it shows up in the dashboard.
