Organisational GEDSI Audit

We conducted GEDSI audits to enhance WWF’s collective capacity and examine workplace culture and values from a gender equity, disability and social inclusion perspective, identifying strengths and gaps in promoting equality. Results informed more responsive programmes and policy development, supported donor engagement, and provided evidence on nuanced gender issues across the network.
