Integrating Gender Equality and Social Inclusion in WASH and IWRM: A Quick Guide for Practitioners

This annotated bibliography of examples and resources is designed to support water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) and integrated water resource management (IWRM) practitioners in integrating gender equality and social inclusion outcomes (GESI). In particular, the guide is designed to support the US Agency for International Development’s Resilience Food Security Activities. WASH and IWRM remain an important component of RFSA programming, and equality is closely linked to WASH, IWRM, and food security and nutrition outcomes. This guide can also be helpful when designing programming, such as during the RFSA refinement period, as many resources may be helpful as part of desk reviews and to inform program design. This guide is complemented by the Integrating Gender Equality and Social Inclusion in WASH and IWRM: A Practitioner Cheatsheet.
