Background

SUMERNET Young Professionals (SYP) supports building capacity of early and mid-career researchers and other young professionals in the Mekong Region. As part of this ongoing effort, SYP is organizing a training titled “Understanding the importance of integration of gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) lens into your work as early and mid-career researchers”.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) make it clear that everyone must be included in the process of sustainable development. This is in line with both GEDSI approaches and equity principles. When looked at as a whole, the SDGs stress how important it is to get rid of differences and unfairness and make sure that everyone has the same access to resources, chances, and services.

“SUMERNET has been integrating aspects of gender equality into its programme, ensuring equal benefits and opportunities between female and male research and policy partners working under the programme. In S4A, the programme enhances inclusiveness by targeting vulnerable groups such as persons with disability, elderly, ethnic groups, the poor, migrants and farmers or fishers. This will contribute to SDG 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies, specifically indicators on the proportion of population who believe decision-making is inclusive and responsive, by sex, age, disability and population group (16.7.2), aside from maintaining the support for SDG 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.” (for more information see SUMERNET Vision Guide 2019-2028)
