As part of the MacArthur Foundation’s On Nigeria Program series, this learning brief introduces the GESI Integration Tool — a practical resource designed to help organizations embed gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) throughout their project lifecycles.
The tool features the GESI Continuum, which guides projects from being unaware of GESI issues to adopting transformative approaches that challenge systemic inequalities. It includes a detailed checklist for four key stages — Design & Planning, Implementation, Monitoring & Evaluation, and Learning & Reflection — with tailored assessment criteria and reflective questions to support continuous improvement.
Additional resources, including free training and a GESI glossary, make this an essential guide for organizations committed to inclusive and equitable impact in Nigeria and beyond.
