WaterAid Rwanda 119d ago

WaterAid’s Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) advisors, focal points, and leaders from across Africa, South Asia, and Europe gathered in Kigali, Rwanda for a five-day Strategy and Practice Convening. The workshop focused on strengthening collaboration, aligning regional priorities, and accelerating transformative change in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) systems. Throughout the week, participants explored: • Disability-inclusive WASH approaches • Gender and power analysis • Systems strengthening and advocacy • Women’s leadership learning agendas • Monitoring and evaluation through a GEDSI lens • Strategic review and collective action planning The Kigali convening marked a renewed commitment to embedding GEDSI at the heart of universal, sustainable and inclusive WASH programming. Because inclusive systems do not happen by chance, they are built intentionally. #GEDSI #WASHForAll #GenderEquality #DisabilityInclusion #InclusiveSystems
