Gender equality and social inclusion underpins all of our work. We lead in gender transformative disaster risk reduction (DRR), planning, and development. Our approach moves beyond simply acknowledging differences in vulnerability to actively addressing the root causes of inequality and unequal power relations.

This approach views disaster risk reduction (DRR) and planning as opportunities to challenge discriminatory social norms, empower marginalized groups, and create systemic change that leads to a more equitable and resilient society for everyone.

At the heart of our work is a commitment to authentic and inclusive participatory action. We believe that sustainable success, resilience, and true equality can only be achieved when those most affected by a challenge are the ones driving the solution. Our approach is not simply community-informed; it is fundamentally community-led.

Our commitment to a Whole Systems Approach is how we ensure our development and resilience work delivers lasting, transformative change, not just temporary fixes.

Instead of tackling single problems in isolation, we recognize that communities, economies, and environments are deeply interconnected, forming a complex system. 

By applying a Whole Systems Approach, we ensure that our interventions are coherent, contextually relevant, and mutually reinforcing, leading to genuinely resilient communities that can thrive amid shocks and stresses.
