Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) programs by themselves will not achieve World Vision’s development goals if they exclude certain groups from their benefits. Food Security and Livelihoods strategies need to incorporate Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) to ensure excluded and marginalized groups can participate in food security and livelihoods decision-making structures and benefit from FSL development interventions equitably.
World Vision’s GESI approach actively strives to examine, question, and change harmful social norms and power imbalances as a means of reaching gender equality and social inclusion objectives in any given context and technical program area. GESI is integral to achieving World Vision’s “Our Promise” global strategy and child well-being objectives. GESI approaches typically tackle access, decision-making, participation, systems, and well-being.
