Apply to join the bilingual online Gender Equality and Inclusion (GEI) training by PEP. Designed for researchers, the course emphasizes GEI principles in African contexts with practical insights.
Why Does GEI Matter?
Gender Equality and Inclusion (GEI) are central to promoting social justice, human rights, and economic development. However, many researchers lack the necessary knowledge and tools to incorporate GEI into their work, resulting in gender-blind research and the exclusion of vulnerable populations.
This course addresses this critical gap by training participants to incorporate gender and inclusivity perspectives into their research. Emphasizing intersectional approaches, the course delves into various forms of inequality and discrimination, ensuring that all aspects of gender equality and inclusion are thoroughly considered in research design and practice.
