For Environment, Democracy and Livelihoods
A three days training workshop on Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) was organised from 13th to 15th March 2026. The workshop was supported by Australian Himalayan Foundation (AHF) for its partners in Nepal. ForestAction Nepal being one of its partners hosted the event at its office. The training was conducted with professionals from different organisations and background with the aim of strengthening their understanding and application of GEDSI approaches.
The workshop was comprehensively designed, with each day covering key concepts on PSEAH, gender equality and disability and social inclusion. Through interactive and participatory methods, the facilitators guided the participants on approaches to mainstream GEDSI at organisational, programs and community level interventions. Participants reflected and shared on the existing gaps and actions through case studies, quiz and discussion for promoting inclusion in different areas of work (forestry, education, health). Similarly, participants actively engaged throughout the three days which contributed to a collaborative learning environment to build stronger network among the professionals. On 15th March, the workshop concluded with participants’ sharing their actionable outputs for the upcoming months to ensure GEDSI initiatives in their programs and organisation.
