Our projects promote respect for the LGBTQI+ community and enable an environment where everyone can live in safety and with dignity, can participate in decision-making processes, and is treated equally regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We identify ways to mitigate challenges that members of the LGBTQI+ community may face while participating in development interventions, and we focus on how development practitioners can foster more inclusive interventions that can lead to institutional change.
