Panelists from Episcopal Relief & Development, Episcopal Church Liberia Relief and Development and World Vision USA, will discuss learnings from their faith-based programs advancing Gender Equity and Social Inclusion (GESI) in communities across the globe. The panel will specifically discuss data in designing and sustaining GESI approaches, tools that capture evidence of impact, moments of ‘program pause’ and instances when inclusion, social and behavior change were challenging for faith actors and communities, specifically when responding to the agency and resilience of historically marginalized and stigmatized groups.
