UK PACT - EDIRE Workshop Group 3 by Roxanne Ward https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug Co-producing reccomendations en-us 2021-11-05 15:17:02 UTC 2021-11-08 09:26:51 UTC hello@padlet.com Red / Amber / Green ratings: roxanne57 https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug/wish/1870286576 Green means you believe this can be approved and implemented at a UK PACT programme level 

Amber means you think this will be more difficult to implement and need approval at a BEIS level
 
Red means you think this will an institutional challenge to implement and require change and approval across HMG]]> 2021-11-05 15:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug/wish/1870286576 Problem statements for Do no harm roxanne57 https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug/wish/1870300945 We have seen no evidence of risk assessments or mitigation plans to ensure UK PACT operations do no harm to vulnerable communities. ​
​
More attention needs to be given towards bringing in other vulnerable demographics in societies that UK PACT are active in, beyond just women and girls. Project applicants tend to think it is enough to exclusively address gender in their inclusion strategies at proposal-level. ​
​
There is no clear localisation approach in UK PACT programming. (Including a risk assessment).

Make this mandatory and provide guidance to managers of what EDIRE targets could look like and how they can be measured. ]]> 2021-11-05 16:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug/wish/1870406589 Key recommendation: Develop an organisational culture and capacity for EDIRE roxanne57 https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug/wish/1870413197 Promote a shared commitment to EDIRE, cognizant of different country contexts, by ensuring staff have the proper access to unlearning resources, skills and support (e.g. Guidance, tools, training)]]> 2021-11-05 16:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug/wish/1870413197 Problem statements for Culture and Capacity roxanne57 https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug/wish/1870414045 There has been a noticeable tendency for discussions around EDIRE to shift more towards GESI. It was unclear whether the distinction between the terms was clear to respondents and whether features like race and disability were being considered alongside gender. ​

There is not a consistent definition of SI across UK PACT programme documents, for example the definition on p4 of the GESI ambition statement differs from the definition given on p45 of the GRCF FAQ document. ​

There has been wide acknowledgement of gaps in technical expertise and understanding around EDIRE and strategies to integrate EDIRE into programming. Such gaps often result in a select few Technical Experts with a passion for EDIRE being disproportionately consulted for ad hoc guidance. ​

]]> 2021-11-05 16:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug/wish/1870420568 Problem statements for Accountability roxanne57 https://padlet.com/roxanne57/q9ng4giqyi8eplug/wish/1870422696 Albeit unintentional, UK PACT runs the risk of perpetuating counter-productive behaviours, inequalities and systems due to its lack of concise, tangible and weighted guidance. ​

Due to time and resource constraints, senior Programme Managers and stakeholders do not currently have the time to explore additional resources and tools for EDIRE integration. ​

Accountability in inclusion within programmes at UK PACT and BEIS’ was not sufficiently prioritised nor were there substantial consequences for lack of inclusivity. I.e. feedback loops are not in place.​
