Sightsavers’ programming in disability and broader social inclusion is growing, including with a number of Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) funded programmes. FCDO has raised its global ambition on women and girls and wider equalities, as outlined in the International Development Strategy (IDS), Women and Girls Strategy, and Integrated Review Refresh. To meet this strategic ambition, a focus on unlocking the potential of women and girls and other left behind groups must be embedded across the full scope of diplomacy and development policy, activities and programming.

By bringing together UK influence, investment, expertise and evidence, this programme will strengthen progress on gender and wider equalities and bring about broader organisational benefits through investing in people and in capabilities.
