Our projects promote respect for the LGBTI community and enable an environment where everyone can live in safety and with dignity, participate in decision-making processes, and is treated equally regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We identify ways to mitigate challenges of engaging the LGBTI community in development interventions and focus on how development practitioners can foster more inclusive interventions that can lead to institutional change.
