GESI Impact Stories in Cambodia

World Vision prioritises the Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Approach that promotes equal and inclusive access, decision-making, participation, systems and well-being of the most vulnerable; transforms systems, social norms, and relations to enable the most vulnerable to participate in and benefit equally from development interventions, builds individual and collective agency, resilience, and action and promotes the empowerment and well-being of vulnerable children, their families and communities.

The goal is to achieve sustained, transformational change at individual, household, community, and societal levels so that all persons can enjoy the fullness of life. The approach advances World Vision’s mission of promoting human transformation and development by reaching out to the most vulnerable children and adults and challenging the root causes of vulnerability that sustain gender inequality and social exclusion, such as restrictive socio-cultural norms, unequal power relations, and disempowering systems.
