Empowering Communities for Gender Equality and Social Inclusion
With the support of Development Fund Norway, Candlelight recently completed an impactful 9-day training on Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) at three key project sites in Awdal Region: Magalo-cad, Magalo-qaloc, and Garbihadley.
A total of 90 participants (30 from each village) took part in this transformative training which aimed to equip them with the knowledge and tools to promote GESI within their unique local contexts.
Training Objectives:
• To increase awareness and understanding of gender equality and social inclusion concepts.
• To identify and address gender-based discrimination and social exclusion issues in communities.
• To empower participants to advocate for inclusive practices and policies.
• To strengthen participants’ capacity to lead community-level initiatives promoting GESI.
Through awareness-building and practical skills development, Candlelight is helping to build stronger, more equitable communities where everyone regardless of gender can thrive.
