Through this action-orientated research project, the Sanitation Learning Hub (SLH) in collaboration with the Government of Meghalaya (GoM), India, are trialling and evaluating a series of four strategic engagement events (henceforth known as Rapid Action Learning (RAL) workshops) between State and District Governments (including Block and Village level actors), Rights Holder Organizations (RHOs) and sanitation and hygiene development partners. The aim of these events is to facilitate meaningful participation, discussion, deliberation, and action planning between relevant actors to strengthen gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) within the Government’s existing area-wide sanitation (AWS) programs. Through these events, participants will be facilitated to identify disadvantaged groups and challenging contexts in their given jurisdiction and to identify adaptations and actions which can be integrated into existing approaches and processes to strengthen GESI. Between the workshops, participating Districts will test the feasibility and potential of these adaptations, reporting on progress in subsequent events, and developing interventions further.
