GENDER AGE AND DISABILITY
INCLUSION
ABOUT THE COURSE
This three day course will provide the knowledge

and disability into all interventions so that
organisations move beyond simply the desire to be

faced by vulnerable groups and respond to those
most in need.

COURSE STRUCTURE
Three day external course at RedR UK. Registration will take
place from 8.30 am on the first day. Each day, the course
will run from 9 am and conclude at 5.30 pm. Each day is
separated by a lunch break and coffee/ tea breaks in the
morning and afternoon.
Participants will be actively encouraged to participate in
classroom discussions and group work. The trainers will draw
on both theoretical and practical knowledge in order to make
the experience and learning applicable to the realities of
project management in the humanitarian sector.
From the second day, training begins with a review of the
topics covered the previous day to ensure that the concepts,
tools, and frameworks are fully understood. Every day ends
with a period of reflection, evaluation, and questions. Each
day then builds and expands from the previous day with day
three cumulating in groups designing and advising how to
build an inclusive project
Day 1
Terminology, Attitudes and Introduction to Gender,
Age and Disability Minimum standards:
After registration and a welcome in the morning,
there will be an overview of the terminology and
barriers to inclusion. This will lead into looking at
how attitudes play a divisive role in accessing aid
and how these can be shaped to create an approach
that is inclusive for all. We will also look at risks
and capacities of vulnerable groups of people
before introducing the Minimum Standards for
Inclusion (Gender, Age, Disability) when groups will
begin working with case studies to analyse areas
where programmes can prioritise actions to ensure
inclusion.
Day 2
Risks and Capacities of vulnerable groups and
violence against vulnerable persons.
The morning will cover identifying risks and
capacities of vulnerable groups followed by
analysing how various forms of violence manifests
in emergency situations against different genders,
age and disability in urban and rural settings. The
afternoon sessions will look at key priorities for
change within programming to help protect the
most vulnerable and reduce cases of violence using
the twin track approach.
Day 3
Gender, Age and Disability Mainstreaming.
