ABOUT US:
Practical Action is an international development organization putting ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world. We help people find solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems — challenges made worse by catastrophic climate change and persistent gender inequality. We work with communities to develop lasting and locally owned solutions for agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience and clean energy. And we share what works with others, so answers that start small can grow big.
Purpose of the Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion Audit.

It will support accountability and learning by examining how inclusive principles are embedded across planning, delivery, and resourcing, and how these are experienced by different population groups within low-income settlements.
Expected deliverables
The consultant will deliver the following:
1. Inception Report
