Gender and inclusion targets met on paper often miss the people they were meant for. The fix happens at the design stage.
Inclusion problems are usually visible before a programme starts: venues women cannot reach, timings that clash with caregiving, materials only in English.
Ask early, ask locally
Short consultations with community members during design cost little and prevent expensive redesigns later.
Who is missing from this room, and why? It is the most useful question in programme design.
