Gender Responsive Resilience and Intersectionality in Policy and Practice (GRRIPP) - Networking Plus Partnering for Resilience
Lead Research Organisation:
University College London
Department Name: Institute for Risk and Disaster Reductio
Abstract
The GRRIPP Network+ will build an international, network of scholars, policy makers and practitioners to promote gender and intersectionality. This requires networks of disciplines, sectors and interests and a range of partners who are willing to think and work together in new ways. We seek to establish a radical vision which begins and centres upon gender and intersectionality rather than adding it, post hoc, to domains and sectors. The primary challenge we identify is to embed gender and intersectionality in resilience thinking, policy making and practice through better understanding the drivers of gender inequality of risk and resilience in order to build gender responsive resilience (GRR).
We will focus on Resilience to Environmental Shocks and Change and ask: what difference would it make to re-envision the many global challenges facing ODA countries through a gender lens? We will also focus on sustainable infrastructure, which allows us to apply a gender and intersectionality lens to the planning, design, construction and governance of cities and communities; both in the everyday and in the context of disaster risk reduction and resilience.
Initially we propose working directly across three regions Africa; Latin America and the Caribbean; and South Asia. We plan to ensure diversity within regions and countries to reach rural and smaller urban locations and stakeholders and not just capital cities/ large urban centres.
We plan an ambitious Commissioning programme for cutting edge research and capacity building activities which will encompass major nationally identified and significant challenges. We aim to mentor and support to leave no-one behind by actively involving very local and informal groups and networks through our various partners.
We aim to leave our mark in the academic, policy and practice spheres through the diverse and wide-ranging outputs we seek to support and produce. For example: We plan to have a major influence on theoretical debates; we will engage policy makers and policy implementers to ensure theoretical and practical insights can be presented in policy-friendly ways that speak directly to their agendas; Through global & regional workshops, we will collectively deliver expert discussions and research trainings, plan collaboratively written, presentational and advocacy activities. Our "research mentor" scheme will partner more experienced researchers with junior ones to focus on confidence-building for the next generation of thinkers and policy-influencers.
The legacy of GRRIPP will be connected, knowledgeable and empowered researchers, practitioners, communities and policymakers; theoretical innovations on gender, intersectionality and resilience; gender- and intersectionality-responsive disaster and conflict management policies; and a context-relevant information and evidence base for embedding gender and intersectionality into policy and policy into action.
We hope that the actions and outputs of the GRRIPP Network+ will support positive change in the everyday lives of people living in ODA countries while building socially-responsible and socially-productive capacity in the academic, policy and practice communities of the UK.

Planned Impact
There will be multiple layers of beneficiaries from GRRIP and multi-layered pathways to impact.
GRRIP is a horizontal network of networks organised across regional and sectoral lines, fundamentally shaped around multiple learning trajectories: South-South, South-North, North-South, North-North. Through global & regional workshops, we will collectively deliver workshops and trainings, plan collaborative written, presentational and advocacy activities, and create a space for horizontal engagement and reflection.
Our horizontally-structured "ideas space" allows for critical and situated perspectives and indigenous and de-colonial knowledges to emerge based on, inter alia, non-Anglophone sources and lived experiences. Through collective identification of major problems facing regions, we will critically engage with their significance in relation to established theory; and offer new ideas for tackling global challenges based on these emerging ideas.
At our international meetings, GRRIP will identify direct opportunities for impact e.g. advocate that the biennial regional platforms of the UNISDR Sendai Framework move beyond 'mainstreaming gender' in 2019 to 'intersectional responsiveness' for 2021. We will advocate for working sessions on 'intersectionality and resilience' at this and other global platforms.
We will target regional, national & district level plans on disaster and conflict response and resilience. We will engage policy makers and policy implementers by speaking directly to their agendas, engaging them to identify evidence gaps on gender, intersectionality and resilience, advise on GRRIP-identified evidence and create opportunities for policy-maker ownership over GRRIP research through co-design and co-production of outputs, such as blog posts, policy briefs and working papers.
An important aim of GRRIP is to disrupt conventional hierarchies of learning and building confidence of the next generation of thinkers and policy-influencers. Direct pathways to impact include involvement of policy makers, practitioners and activists as partners in the activities of GRRIP, taking the co-produced knowledge and skills back to their organisations and operationalising this. It includes lobbying and advocacy activities by members of GRRIP in policy spaces in which they already familiar and have a track record of impact, as well as new local and global policy spaces.
More indirect pathways include enhanced research skills of those in GRRIP which will allow the co-construction of an evidence base for innovations in policy and practice, and theoretical advances which will not only influence policy thinking but also curriculum development for the next generation of thinkers.
Those whom we envisage will benefit from GRRIP include policy makers across a range of disciplines - including DRR, urban planning, gender equality. Beneficiaries will also include local practitioners and activists, those working in NGOs and with social movements, and also educators from grass roots to university levels. They will benefit through direct involvement in GRRIP, through the knowledge generated through commissioned research and disseminated via workshops and briefings, and operationalised through manuals and toolkits. Forming partnerships with policy makers and practitioners and working with them across the policy process we will seek to move past dissemination to impact.
The legacy of GRRIP will be connected and empowered researchers, practitioners, communities and policymakers; theoretical innovations on gender, intersectionality and resilience; gender- and intersectionality-responsive disaster and conflict management policies; and a context-relevant information and evidence base for translating assessment into policy and policy into action.
A conscious aim of GRRIPP is to decolonise knowledge production and provide levels of autonomy for regional teams which we hope will have impact in our regions of influence.

| Title | A ciencia da mata xukuru: Cosmonucleação regenerativa - Regenerative cosmonucleation and enchantment in the management of traditional territories in Pernambuco |
| Description | This notebook is the first of three publications that seek to value knowledge and wisdom about plants, agriculture, feeding and food as a cure, and the management of agroecosystems from the approaches of good living and good eating. Specifically, the first notebook presents the systematization of the science and practices of the enchantment of the Xukuru do Orororuba indigenous people, Pernambuco. The main objective of this project was to promote the exchange of traditional knowledge of food and traditional medicine in territories in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The organisation worked with the approach of regenerative cosmonucleation, which proposes a harmonious relationship with nature and comes from the worldviews of indigenous populations, intersectionality and feminism. With regard to the activities carried out by the project, physical infrastructures were made available and the traditional knowledge of women in the three localities was systematized through publications. This notebook seeks to value knowledge and wisdom about plants, agriculture, feeding and food as a cure, and the management of agroecosystems from the approaches of good living and good eating. It also presents the systematization of the science and practices of the enchantment of the indigenous (original) Xukurú people de Ororuba, in Pesqueira, in Pernambuco. Authors are : Ana Carvalho, Bella Xukuru, Fabrício Brugnago, Giuseppe Bandeira, Iran Neves Ordônio Xukuru, Mariana Sobral, Marília Nepomuceno Pinheiro, Socorro Xukuru. |

| Impact | _ The knowledge of women and their communities, as well as the main needs they had in terms of infrastructure were recorded. _ In Serra dos Pau Doias, a house of experiences, care and cures was set up in which Benzedeira women share their knowledge related to traditional medicine with other members of the community. _ Exchange generated between 20 people in Serra dos Pau Dóias regarding the traditional medicine practices carried out by women in the locality. _ From a theroretical perspective, the project used intersectionality, considering the dimensions of race, class, gender, articulated with the environmental, economic and social dimensions. This aimed to having a broader understanding of the impacts of the deterritorialization of the problems that take place daily in the lives of peripheral and indigenous Afro-descendant women and youth in Brazil. _ The project demonstrates that it is possible to reduce the daily inequalities faced by women, through recovering and preserving ancestral logics and enchantment through the generation of spaces for the exchange of knowledge, made possible by the construction of physical structures. |

| Title | Beyond Victimisation: Exploring Avenues to Overcome Gender-Based Violence in the Kampala Markets |
| Description | Documentary produced by FIDA to capture the impacts of their project which investigates the issue of gender-based violence in the informal sector in Kampala, Uganda, as a barrier to women's effective participation in the economy and explores avenues which can be created and strengthened in order to end this violence. The documentary was produced in order to highlight the coping strategies and opportunities that women market vendors rely on and can utilise in the context of Gender Based Violence. The video depicts interviews with women of Kampala in their working environment and uses first hand narratives to share their experiences with a broader audience and seeks to raise awareness to other women, city officials, market vendors and the general population about the normalisation of GBV in this setting and opportunities for enabling women's agency through Community Legal Volunteer training. |

| Title | Exploring the Diverse Issues of the Elderly Old Age Home (OAH) Residents of Bangladesh & India |
| Description | This video sheds light on some of the cultural customs and epistemology around aging in India and Bangladesh. The charged narration frames these emotive ambivalences around attitudes to elderly people: a cultural pathos, discourses of respect and respectability - particularly in relation to widowhood, marriage and family dynamics. The words used by the narrator, translating directly from the Bangla used by the residents, reflect the contextual tone of common Bangladeshi and Indian cultural attitudes to the elderly. At times unsettling, this video reminds us of the importance of feeling uncomfortable to enrich our contemplation. Description Traditional support received from family or community for the elderly population is almost fading out from the contemporary society. In earlier times elderly were treated with special respect because of their experience and wisdom. Nevertheless, such values have been steadily eroded with the passage of time. The elderly is now treated as liabilities, rather than assets. The elderly people are sometimes forced to leave their homes and stay at old age homes (OAHs). This research dwells on the problems of the elderly in OAHs in India and Bangladesh. The correlation between India and Bangladesh is rooted in history, culture, language and shared values of secularism. Moreover, the psychosocial problems of the aged OAH residents stemming from socio-economic conditions, socio-cultural and psycho-social factors which are all connected to living conditions of the elderly. Such problems have been touched upon but never analysed or articulated largely. Most of the female elderly are more likely than male elderly to suffer from ill-health, have less access to health care and suffer discrimination within the health care system. In this respect female elderly are more likely than male elderly to be depressed, to be poor and to suffer from elder abuse. Therefore, this particular research is a modest attempt to fill the gap in the area of social work intervention with the object of enhancing the quality of life for the elderly in old age homes and suggest possible solutions for avoiding isolation and health related complications! To tackle these problems and ameliorate the plight of the elderly old age home residents in India and Bangladesh the following remedial measures are suggested in the light of the findings of this research: • Making emergency treatment and specialized medical treatment available to the elderly OAH residents, especially the needy among them whose health problems are aggravated by paucity of funds. • Familiarizing counseling facilities • Introducing an adequate government health scheme • Acquaint with Better Institutional Care • Bring together trained staff and professional caregiver facility Only if we can initiate the above practices and bring changes in the existing healthcare policies for the elderly people; they would willingly stay at OAHs for having better quality of life at their final stage of living! Let's explore the concurrent struggle and success of the OAHs of India and Bangladesh to have a better understanding of the overall context! |

| Impact | A locally produced drama which poignantly highlighted the cultural elements of inequality at household and community level where a family with young daughters must face trauma of traditional practices and beliefs in a society that is beginning to recognise the need for change. The production stars locally trained actors who have had an opportunity to learn about issues around Gender Based Violence, forced early marriage/dowry, and the need for gender equality. Actors trained by Youth Care Group Network International (who made this video) have since landed acting roles on local and national TV which has increased their income and enhanced their and their families livelihood and quality of life |

| Title | Iansã - O que o vento nos trouxe / Iansã - What the wind brought us |
| Description | Iansã: what the wind brought us is a realization of Quilombo do Catucá. The activity aimed to rescue the trajectory of light that is present in Alto do Viana, Camaragibe -PE, where the legacy of Mãe Flávia de Iansã was born. The Quilombo de Catucá Cultural Centre in Catucá, in Pernambuco - Brazil was restructured to facilitate meetings and conduct capacitiy strengthening activities from the community and ancestral practices to combat gender inequalities in the territory. Three workshops were held on gender, racism and ancestral memories. Three conversation tours were held to share experiences among actors in Cameroon's territory, in the Camaragibe territory with respect to gender, racism and ancestral memories. Two art and culture festivals, one for children and the other for the general public were also organized. The 5th Quilombo do Catucá Art and Culture Festival featured workshops, talking-sessions (dialogues) and cultural presentations, offering exchanges and collective learning in public policies. The theme was "Gender, peripheral territories and ancestralities".

| Title | Partnership between the Tomorrow Cities- Quito programme and GRRIPP |
| Description | Exhibit "Los Barrios hablan. Nos cuidamos en comunidad" in Museo Archivo de Arquitectura, Quito. Open to the public from September 3rd to October 1st, 2022. This project asks about gender, intersectionality, and risks, from the team of experts in risk, geography, history, and human rights issues. How we ask these questions in a diverse group of people: leaders, leaders, bricklayers, students, artists, risk experts, law and social sciences, people with different trades; committed inhabitants of different neighborhoods of Quito, is the methodology; and it also has to do with how we live the experience (playing, reflecting, letting ourselves be affected by others, etc.) of sharing collective creation and research-action together, towards the imagination and construction of the city we want. This research project was guided by four research questions: • How is the city lived, inhabited and constructed in the context of disaster risk due to multiple natural hazards from a gender and intersectionality perspective? • How does a gender and intersectionality approach allow for the construction of a more resilient and equitable city in the face of risk? • What are the rights of people in relation to disaster risk from a gender perspective and thinking about diversity from an intersectional perspective? • What are the artistic and collective forms that facilitate the visibility of the differentiated and particular way in which we understand, live and experience risk? |

| Impact | Exhibit "Los Barrios hablan. Nos cuidamos en comunidad" in Museo Archivo de Arquitectura, Quito. Open to the public from September 3rd to October 1st, 2022.There were 551 visitors in the month that it was open. 46% of the audience came from the different neighbourhoods of the participants, plus where the museum is located, 17% were university students, 20% were family groups, 9% were kids, 8% were international tourists. Participants reflected on their lived experience and learned from experts and other participants on risk, gender and intersectionality. Given the participation of women migrants from Venezuela and from different other localities in Ecuador, all the participants were sensitised on issues regarding human mobility, in particular concerning disaster and risk studies. Example of feedback: "Thanks to the project for what it has done for the indigenous community, thank you for including us." (Indigenous woman mason). |

| Title | Quilombo do Catucá V Festival de Arte e Cultura: Gênero, Territórios Periféricos e Ancestralidade |
| Description | This publication aims to recount the history of the Quilombo do Catucá Cultural Center in Camaragibe, Recife, and primarily to address the organization of its two main festivities: the children's party and the cultural festival of art and culture. Through a recount of the influences of Mae Flávia and the particularity of Candomblé, this notebook addresses gender and ancestry practices in peripheral territories. The worldview of Candomblé comes from Afro-Brazilian ancestral religion whose practice seeks to recover the memory of the African populations that were enslaved in the northeastern territory, as well as their community practices that were affected by the dynamics of exploration historically experienced in the territory. |

| Impact | An unexpected effect of the project took place uin May 2022, when heavy rains occurred in the city of Recife, which put the population living in Camaragibe in an emergency situation. Given this, the terreiro built by the people of the quilombo functioned as a public space in which many of the families affected by the rains were sheltered and helped. This experience demonstrated the importance of community networks and physical spaces opened to the public in managing risks and disasters. |

| Title | The Soul of Nature - Film Trailer |
| Description | The film titled 'The Soul of Nature' is expected to portray the day to day hustle of a marginalized household through an intersectional lens. The trailer will generate food for thought amongst the wider audience at home and abroad by unleashing the untold stories of rural community of Bangladesh, living with natural calamities (riverbank erosion), violence, poverty and many of their other struggles. The synopsis of the storyline as well as the making is closely aligned with a few thematic areas of GRRIPP (Gender Responsive Resilience and Intersectionality in Policy and Practice: - Networking Plus Partnering for Resilience), funded by UKRI Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF), and managed by UCL (University College, London) which was one of the primary motives of co-sponsoring the film. The film 'The Soul of Nature' will be able to move and sensitize the hearts of people through visual imagery to convey the deep impact on people's lives given the geographical location, socio-economic context and variability of nature. The story is a realistic visualization of the evolving nature which showcases the extinction of biodiversity (through bird hunting as a livelihood option for the extremely vulnerable individuals). Through integrating the indigenous elements of environment and community, rural rituals and culture; the film 'The Soul of Nature' will point towards the philosophical dilemma that exist within a society, its environment and people.

| Title | Transcending Boundaries: The Unseen Struggles of Transgender Community |
| Description | In collaboration with Chitrokarkhana, GRRIPP South Asia unveils the authentic voices and experiences of groups often marginalized by society. "Transcending Boundaries" provides a raw and unfiltered glance into the lives of a gender-diverse community in Bangladesh, allowing them to share their stories in their own voices. Chitrokarkhana is a dedicated platform committed to amplifying the voices of marginalized communities through various artistic expressions. In this project, they play a crucial role in capturing the essence of the transgender community's struggles, adding a unique and artistic dimension to the narrative. This beautifully raw video explores Hijra identity, an indigenous term that reflects a wide range of sexual diversity, transgender and gender-diverse identities. Different definitions of hijra can refer to many aspects of an individual: such as gender presentation, attraction and biological sexual characteristics, including intersex characteristics. Individuals in the documentary explore some of these definitions and how they as individuals relate to the wider term. Informed by the Bangladeshi context, individuals share their ideas about topics such as "respectable" employment and livelihoods, family belonging and shame. Members of the community share how they experience and survive social marginalisation and the effects of extreme weather, discussing resilience through their own voices. |

| Description | Positive results Although it is still too early for much of the analysis, interpretation and theoretical reporting of GRRIPP's ongoing, activities, we did discover the value of providing relatively small amounts of funding (up to £25,000) for disproportionate gains. Some of GRRIPP's awardees at the more local/grassroots level would never be in a position to access the usual size of grants but they could benefit from accessing lower amounts. The GRRIPP process focused firstly on suggested the idea and its likely impact, rather than the technical superiority of proposals. Awardees were supported to improve their submissions and then their later financial and Monitoring & Evaluation reporting and thus the approach contributed to wider capacity building. Devolving decision making to the regions and their stakeholders created novel project ideas that we would have been unlikely to have imagined at the proposal writing stage. GRRIPP gave the regions autonomy to decide the broad shape of their regional focus on resilience. Thus, GRRIPP-Africa decided to pursue a development focus (e.g. supporting solar-powered trikes for women entrepreneurs); GRRIPP-LAC focused on landscapes and territories of care (e.g. a wide range of projects emerged including ones focused on spiritual relationships of people and environment, and to the localisation of cultural meanings); GRRIPP-South Asia focused on disaster risk reduction (DRR) (e.g. influencing disaster policy and practice to embrace an intersectional approach rather than a narrow focus on women (evidenced by Ministerial attendance at June 2022 dissemination event where he requested a draft strategy on how to integrate intersectionality into Disaster Risk Management, and influencing curriculum development with gender and intersectionality). GRRIPP also demonstrated the value of including financial managers more closely in the whole of the project and even including them in working directly in training for awardees (e.g. training in using Excel spreadsheets which resulted in a grassroots group applying this skill to achieve further funding from elsewhere). See: https://www.grripp.net/post/grripp-supports-the-midwifes-of-the-amazon The diversity of locations and activities has benefited the linking of networks (still ongoing) beyond what would normally occur. Although it is still (2024) too early to see the effects and outcomes of a lot of the work completed throughout GRRIPP, there has been development on the theoretical concepts, methodologies and perception of GRRIPP as a whole. As GRRIPP and the project work progressed, the conceptualisation of the core GRRIPP concepts i.e. gender, intersectionality and resilience, varied among the regions, including the UK. For example, concepts such as gender and intersectionality developed organically within the LAC region. The projects became aware that they had already been in contact with and using these concepts in previous work, but had not necessarily articulated it as such. Throughout the Africa region, the concept of 'resilience' organically became the core concept as it gained the most traction in the field of climate change and gender equality. The use of 'gender' on the other hand became replaced with 'women' due to the cultural and political implications with using the term in the field. This was similar in the LAC region. To avoid causing controversary, the LAC regional team introduced the concept of care and care work to organically generate conversation regarding gender and gender roles without necessarily directly talking about 'gender'. This was hugely successful in the region. For the South Asia region, the majority of the successfully selected projects had an academic framing and background and therefore all of the concepts were effectively explored and utilised. All of the regions expressed a great deal of gratitude for the funding. The majority expressed that it was their first-time receiving funding from institutions based in the 'Global South' for which all GRRIPP projects felt a great deal of pride. While many institutional barriers created many difficulties and delays globally, the money received by the projects (on the whole) generated impact, whether that was on local policy, local systems, regional and national curriculum and the livelihoods of many. Transferable skills were taught through many workshops throughout all of the regions and we have been able to see these skills put to use by the project participants to generate an increase in income, to enter leadership roles within an institution or a community, and so on. More importantly, there has been an exchange of knowledge shared through the extensive network that GRRIPP has created. The network which covers the South Asia region, the Africa region, the Latin America and the Caribbean region as well as the UK has proven effective in sharing knowledge, more connections, resources and more. Although GRRIPP has come to an end, communication within the network remains active. More challenging results GRRIPP demonstrated that institutional rigidities stifle innovation (across all regions but especially including the UK). GRRIPP is a novel project that depends on operating in a decolonial and feminist way which means partners were accorded responsibility and a considerable degree of autonomy to carry out the work. However, risk averse institutional processes created additional obstacles to getting things done. E.g. a requirement to pay out funds in three stages rather than all at once which led to much extra reporting work plus long time delays in international financial transfers. |
| Exploitation Route | GRRIPP has accumulated an enormous amount of learning which could improve how funders (UKRI/ESRC) and universities approach the conceptualisation of calls and the ongoing financial and other processes to better meet the needs of end users - especially those at very local scales. It has developed processes that could help partner universities, NGOs and grassroots groups to improve their financial reporting and transparency in order to benefit 'beneficiaries' who do not often access such funding streams. |

| Description | The work of GRRIPP has developed a new interdisciplinary research area for us all which has been characterised by GRRIPP-LAC as 'landscapes of care'. The work led by the LAC region has been shared with the other regions and has opened up the way we think of care, taking it from a narrow instrumentalist approach to a wider and inclusive understanding of care (for people, for environment, for spiritual wellbeing). To shine a light on one project in particular, Charity Chenga from Echoes of Humanity (project under GRRIPP Africa) has noticed a range of impacts from her work in Zimbabwe. Charity's project 'Machitenda Women Economic Riders, in Masvingo Province' aims to set up a solar powered charging station for an electric trike scheme to promote women-based transport solutions and promote more free time to be creative about their livelihood without compromising their health. Not only has this project provided the tools for women to pass their provisional driving tests, it is also developed a community within the community. Charity noted that the women who are participating in the project have become very close and have developed friendships which now stem outside of the project. The women support each other, revise with each other and have developed a form of social capital. Although the project has experienced delays in the delivery of the trikes due to the impact of the pandemic, the delays have strengthened the sense of community among the women, and has allowed more time for more women to pass their tests. Charity described this as "what has been a dark cloud has had a wonderful silver lining". [2023] Another example from Africa is the FIDA Uganda project which provides training for female market vendors in the Kampala markets in paralegal training so that they are able to deal with cases of violence against women in the markets. One of the CLVs (Community Legal Volunteers) Catherine, who had received training from FIDA via GRRIPP recognised the injustices market women were facing regarding a lack of safe childcare throughout the markets. There were no safe spaces for children to be left and monitored whilst their mothers worked. Molly, with her new training and an increase in confidence and self belief, took this issue to leadership and then higher to the World Bank and applied for funding to cover the costs of a playground and child care centre for the markets. Her application was successful and a child care centre has since been erected. [2021] In South Asia, the Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) developed a Curriculum for undergraduate and postgraduate students which focused specifically on Disaster Risk Reduction and Humanitarian Response with Gender and Intersectionality. The Curriculum was so well received that BUP collaborated with another South Asian GRRIPP project based at The Jamsetji Tata school of Disaster Studies (JTSDS) India (also focusing on curriculum development) who have been working to introduce the curriculum across the South Asia region. [ongoing] In Latin America and the Caribbean, project IMA built a kitchen and a medicinal house using GRRIPP funds as part of the projects aim to promote the exchange and preservation of traditional knowledge of food and medicine in three localities of Pernambuco, Brazil. During the catastrophic flooding and landslides in Recife and Jaboato, Brazil in May 2021, IMA used their newly built infrastructures as evacuation shelters for local communities. The kitchen was used to feed the communities and for safety, while the project themselves contributed to humanitarian efforts. |

| Geographic Reach | Africa |
| Policy Influence Type | Influenced training of practitioners or researchers |
| Impact | Since February 2022, the project has trained 20 women who are leaders in 6 different respective markets as CLVs to equip them with legal knowledge which has enabled the women to address GBV within the markets. With this knowledge, women in one market have led meetings with the market leadership, who are mostly men, to raise awareness on the changes required with the responsiveness to the reporting and complaints process. Between February and April, a total of 24 cases of GBV have been handled by newly trained CLVs. In the Nakawa market, newly trained CLVs have also conducted a sensitisation session on sexual harassment and assault and have reported reduced incidents of these forms of sexual violence following the session. The success of the project and the strength of the grantee has resulted in FIDA Uganda being offered Follow-On Funding from GRRIPP Africa to conduct additional CLV training and workshops to facilitate the development of an ordinance (policy) that would seek to formalise the protection of persons from GBV in market settings. FIDA-Uganda has also been awarded Technical Support from Investment Climate Reform (ICR) Facility involving FIDA's current campaign on women's property rights in cohabiting relationships. As those unions are not formerly recognized in the Ugandan law, despite the fact that 30% of women in couple live under such circumstances, goods and assets acquired by the couple are often counted as belonging to the man once the union ends, either by separation or death. In the view of the ICR Facility, a program that targets Women's Economic Empowerment and Business Environment Reforms, we see this as hinder women's access to assets and finance, hence our support to FIDA. The technical assistance will comprise advocacy training for the staff, the establishment of a stakeholder engagement plan, and the organisation of a dialogue on the topic. |

| Policy Influence Type | Influenced training of practitioners or researchers |
| Impact | The training sought to share feminist learning through online training and relevant qualification of institutional representatives responsible for the implementation of public policies in the context of the SDGs- Sustainable Development Goals. Eight meetings were held remotely and the learning was compiled in an E-book. The Ebook presents the eight sessions of the course on gender violence and rights, held for women belonging to social organizations in the Brazilian Amazon. The sessions were designed from the popular education perspective of Paulo Freire and a feminist perspective to provide management tools to tackle gender inequalities and gender-based violence. In total, 60 women from the Amazon region attended each meeting, from 05 States of the Brazilian Legal Amazon (Acre, Amazonas, Amapá, Rondônia, Pará and Maranhão), and obtained the qualification. The course is feminist not only because of its content, but also because of its practice and the educational model proposed. Even with the limitations of the virtual space, it was possible to perceive the collective construction behind each stage of the course. And the result became precious material for training leaders and public managers. It is undoubtedly an intellectual, pedagogical and political milestone. These women, in their diversity of territories, ethnicities, languages, ages and life paths, came together to train, learn and produce a social transformation agenda that, if implemented, would turn Brazil's social structure upside down. |

| Geographic Reach | Local/Municipal/Regional |
| Policy Influence Type | Influenced training of practitioners or researchers |
| Impact | "From the analysis of pre-event evaluation forms collected from 11 participants, the majority considered having very little knowledge on the areas targeted by the training, which can reflect either an actual need and/or their relatively low self-esteem and a harsh evaluation of themselves. The top 3 expectations included (1) Learning how to write proposals, (2)Strengthening institutional capacities, and (3) Strengthening networks and connections between women in the Amazon. The post-workshop evaluation filled by 16 participants highlights that these expectations were met but two additional achievements were emphasized by participants who reported having learned some basic skills in using Excel and also having gained more confidence in their abilities. The analysis of post-evaluation forms suggests a clear improvement on two levels: the actual skills gained by the trainees but also a change of perception about themselves. Only one respondent chose the option "I don't know anything" and on only 2 items, while the majority recognises some level of knowledge and proficiency after the training. Quite importantly, many participants chose the option "I already have some experience" while this option was not cited in the pre-evaluation form. However, none of them chose the option "I consider myself an expert", which echoes their demands for further training. This project generated additonal outcomes such as the production of original training material and the capacity building of the organising team in facilitating trainings. Moreover, the training generated momentum for participants to start applying for further funding with support from the GRRIPP management team. One proposal was submitted to the Inter-American foundation and was successful. This provided IMA members with a grant of $10,000 to conduct community development." |

| Results and Impact | The Nepal Workshop, titled "Reimagining Disaster Pedagogies: Towards GenderTransformative, Socially Inclusive and Intersectional South Asian Didactics," was an integral component of phase-2 of the curriculum development project led by GRRIPP South Asia in partnership with the Bangladesh University of Professionals and Institute of Disaster Management and Vulnerability Studies at the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. This workshop marked a significant milestone in the project's mission to promote gender transformative disaster pedagogy within South Asian academic institutions. The workshop was held in Kathmandu, Nepal, spanning two days on the 18th and 19th of August 2023. It brought together university faculty members from six universities, facilitators, and experts in the field of disaster studies. The workshop was initiated with a clear understanding of the pressing need for a gender transformative, socially inclusive, and intersectional approach to disaster pedagogy in South Asia. This region is particularly susceptible to a wide array of disasters, including earthquakes, floods, landslides, and cyclones. These disasters pose significant challenges to communities, and it is imperative that academic institutions equip future professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to address these challenges effectively. In this context, the curriculum development project under GRRIPP South Asia recognized the importance of integrating gender and intersectionality perspectives into disaster pedagogy. Gender-transformative approaches acknowledge the unique vulnerabilities and capacities of individuals based on their gender, while intersectionality explores the interconnected nature of social identities and systems of oppression. Together, these concepts provide a more holistic understanding of disaster dynamics. The primary objective of this workshop was to facilitate knowledge exchange and mutual sharing among participants on existing disaster pedagogies and the integration of gender and intersectionality concepts to create curricula that are gender transformative, and outcome based. The workshop aimed to empower faculty members to rethink their approaches to disaster pedagogy, ultimately contributing to more effective disaster risk reduction and management in South Asia. The two-day workshop, held from the 18th to the 19th of August 2023 at Hotel Crown Plazain Kathmandu, Nepal. Following this, the universities involved have tried to maintain the partnership beyond first phase through engaging other universities which worked before with GRRIPP South Asia. |

| Results and Impact | In December 2021, Youth Care Group Network International (YCGNI) embarked on a GRRIPP project in Uganda to empower women to share and express themselves as a means to increase development. The plan has been successful in increasing the knowledge and confidence in information sharing among the women in rural areas. Knowledge and ideas shared by women strengthen the knowhow around advancing gender equality and empowerment. In YCGNI's women's empowerment program, through sharing, we focused on GRRIPP themes, looking at how information sharing can enhance women's resilience to environmental hazards and climate change. The blog discusses the project in more depth and has contributed to networking, knowledge sharing and public engagement. |

| Results and Impact | GRRIPP members (Sara Bradshaw, Ksenia Chmutina, Jessica Field, Maureen Fordham, Virginie Le Masson, Hanna Ruszczyk & Olivia Walmsley) collectively wrote a blog to comment on the United Nations Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Bali, entitled "Gender in DRR, Mainstreamed into invisibility", and published on the GRRIPP website. On 25th May, the 7th Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction opened in Bali, Indonesia. While the programme includes all the 'right words' around inclusion, there did not seem to be a space where the pervasive issues of gender inequality were engaged with seriously and addressed by all parties and participants. Gender inequality is the real disaster for women; the everyday violence and discrimination against women and other marginalised groups should be addressed with urgency - yet, at the Global Platform, if they were covered at all, were confined to a small number of side events. In response to this gap, several GRRIPPers published a blog highlighting the problems with a limited (often 'tick box') engagement with gender issues. The blog was also posted on GRRIPPs Twitter page which received 13 retweets, 22 likes and 4 share, and was also retweeted by RADIX. |

This exercise was done as part of the project to infuse the aforementioned perspectives through a peer-review process, to find gaps in the current pedagogy, as well as to help develop a detailed model curriculum and guideline that is intersectional and cognizant of differential vulnerabilities and differential abilities to cope and adapt to disasters and climate change. This activity was led by feminist academicians, women leaders, and educators in the field of climate change, habitat studies, public policy, and economics among others. The consultations took place over two days, canvassing the current status of disaster management and climate change education across India, as well as engaging self-reflexively to understand the gaps within the existing curriculum at JTSDS, TISS. |

| Results and Impact | Workshop on Popularization of National Climate Change Response Strategy in Songea Municipal for CSOs (Civil Society Organisations), Farmers, Women, Youth and Government Representatives. After the workshop there were many success stories and plans made for the future. Community members and participants of the workshop stated: "We have established a platform for women activists to promote climate change awareness in Ukerewe. The platform will focus on various areas, including raising awareness about climate change and its impact on women, developing gender-responsive climate change adaptation strategies, and empowering women to cope with the effects of climate change". "As a traditional dance group, we have gained understanding in climate change and gender issues. We utilise our cultural dances to compose poetry carrying messages on environmental conservation, aiming to mitigate climate change effects. Through performances held in various locations across Tanzania, we engage with communities to raise awareness and promote the importance of preserving the environment". "We agreed to plant four trees for each person who participated in our discussions. Each participant committed to planting these trees at their home, symbolising a personal dedication to environmental care and addressing climate change. Many of us have chosen fruit-bearing trees or those providing shade; for instance, I opted for shade trees. We remind and support each other in these efforts whenever we meet, as we collectively act as guardians for one another in this initiative". "I was touched by the points raised in the GCCTC-organised debate on climate change. Since I produce charcoal using wood dust as an alternative energy source, I provided an opportunity for fellow women to learn from me about the charcoal-making process. Some of them genuinely approached me and I guided them on the procedure". |

| Results and Impact | GRID Chile participated in the "NEEDS Conference" with a presentation on the Methodology for Local Risk Analysis with an intersectional approach developed in the framework of the GRRIPP project. The proposal was accepted to present the "Methodology" in the panel: Problem of practicing nuanced vulnerability assessment. There were 4 presentations and the GRRIPP presentation was the only one from a non-Nordic country. The audience was surprised to learn of an experience where the LGBTIQ+ population is considered in disaster risk management with inclusion and non-discrimination in mind. Through the presentation, it was possible to bring this type of approach to academic discussion spaces where the close relationship between theory, practice and political advocacy is evident. Likewise, GRID Chile was able to generate a network of contacts. A total of 30 people attended the talk, mainly academics from different countries. |

| Results and Impact | The GRRIPP Africa Team hosted our final regional event in Pretoria, South Africa. Grantees, Regional Advisory Committee members, and members of GRRIPP Global attended in the knowledge sharing event.The objective of the Colloquium was to extract crucial learnings from our grantee partners located in Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Sudan in order to share knowledge and assess the extent of our impact for gender positive social outcomes. A key focus of the occasion was to mark the end of a four-year global collaboration between Durban University of Technology's Gender Justice, Health and Human Development Office, UK Research & Innovation, Global Challenges Research Fund, and University College London. The three-day engagement was comprised of internal GRRIPP network activities, engagements with grantees and strategic stakeholders, panel discussions, a gala dinner, and a final dissemination event to showcase our deliverables. A total of 25 people attended the final event from Uganda, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, South Sudan, United Kingdom and Peru. The event also gave space to the project participants and also the beneficiaries of these GRRIPP projects to share their reflections and experiences of how GRRIPP has impacted themselves and their future. There were many success stories including participants landing paid acting jobs on national tv shows after taking part in GRRIPP funded drama lessons. Others spoke about how they have put the business skills that they were taught in workshops to use and developed their own business making and selling soap and skin care products which in turn has increased their livelihoods and quality of lives. Others spoke of an increase in confidence with beneficiaries continuing to fight and educate the general public on gender-based violence, gender equality and gender justice. Lastly, the impact of these projects across Africa spread wider than just the project participants themselves. Community members, friends and families of the people who took part in this work also benefitted through knowledge exchanged, shared skill sets and so on. Grantees had an opportunity to share implementation and lessons learnt which project beneficiaries spoke about their experiences. One participant discussed how she had benefitted from a skills based training programme and has learned to make soap as a small business. Another participant from Zimbabwe talked about how she had to learn how to use a computer to take a Provision Licence test which was unfamiliar. The women spoke about how initially the men laughed at them when so many failed their first Provisional tests, but after having many discussions with the Chief and the wider community, the men started to recognise how important it was to support women as they were all working together to support their families. |

| Results and Impact | Three (3) members of the GRRIPP Africa Team travelled to Kampala Uganda to visit FIDA Uganda organisation office, to meet CLV participants and one of the market sites as well as to attend the FIDA Uganda documentary launch (June 6, 2023). GRRIPP Africa members had an opportunity to take part in the discussions involved in the review of the a local ordinance designed to help allow women to have more rights within the district. We were able to meet some of the women participants in their workspace and see the context in which these women had to work. I (Kylah Forbes-Biggs) was moved as I watched as one of the Community Legal Volunteers (Catherine Nzinge) stand out in front of attendees and the media and talke about how her training has help build her confidence, give her access to opportunities beyond her imagination (travelling to the UK) and the support to efforts to develop and fund a local daycare in one of the Kampala market spaces. Abstract taken from Newsletter (link coped under URL) IN FOCUS: GRRIPP Africa Vist FIDA-Uganda This month, our In Focus piece features GRRIPP's Africa team and their site visit to Kampala. Hosted by FIDA-Uganda this visit was an opportunity to discuss their amazing continued work supporting the women of the Kampala Markets. FIDA-Uganda site visit highlights the shift from Research, Practice and Lobbying for Policy Change By Dr Kylah Forbes-Biggs FIDA Uganda hosted GRRIPP Africa team members at their offices in Kampala for a project site visit. The trip which took place from June 4-7, 2023, sought to help gain a better understanding of the project context, gather first-hand perspectives from role players and beneficiaries, discuss achievements and consider lessons learnt. Background Originally founded in 1974, the Uganda Association of Women Lawyers (FIDA-Uganda) has sought to supporting women through the promotion of justice, law and order and providing essential services. Since registering as non-governmental organisation in 1999, they have been able to open 20 district level offices across the country. These offices, led by the national-level branch in Kampala, are supported by lawyers, Community Legal Volunteers (CLVs), organisational members, and local authorities working together to provide legal aid, skills training and human rights advocacy/ protection. FIDA-Uganda is active at grassroots, national, and international levels. FIDA-Uganda has pioneered a Community Legal Volunteers (paralegal) training programme which was expanded into their current GRRIPP Africa funded project, which focused on addressing Gender Based Violence experienced by women vendors Kampala market. The site visit included an opportunity to engage with women market vendors and CLVs in the Kajubi Market in Kampala with members of the FIDA-Uganda team. Market Women_Discussion_credit KFB GRRIPP Africa.JPG Market Women Discussion The Documentary and Report The week culminated in formal launch of a formal report and documentary based on the project, entitled "Beyond Victimisation: Exploring avenues for to overcome gender- based violence in Kampala markets". Key role players drawn from civil society, community, public and private sectors listened to the collective voices of women vendors detailing their experiences with incidents ranging from unwanted touching of their bodies to other aspects of physical, sexual, emotional and economic abuse. The report and film challenged popular stigmas which characterise women as helpless victims by describing how the Community Legal Volunteer (CLV) programme managed to produce 20 trainee participants, whom to date have presented and resolved 57 cases of GBV at their market sites. The report content and discussion provided insight into legal rights of women, services available to survivors, social and cultural barriers influencing the welfare of market vendors and how women, key role-players and civil society can work together to create locally viable solutions. You can watch the documentary here on the GRRIPP YouTube channel.

The ability to translate local dialect played a key role in understanding the depth of issues being face by women. The absence of accurate interpretation and failure to incorporate related costs, can undermine efforts at building resilience by creating barriers to inclusion. Another issue raised considered the growing economic empowerment of women (as an indirect benefit) afforded through more secure income earned within safe work environments. The growing access to money warrants thoughts on how to strengthen business and money management skills to ensure long-term livelihood security. With a spotlight on CLV trainee Catherine Nanzige, inward change is evident in greater self-confidence and sense of purpose. She has addressed audiences locally, regionally and internationally about her experiences. Catherine, CLVs and other women vendors have already lobbied the market management committee and received funding to build an area for small children at one site. Catherine is an example of how gender responsive change can start from grassroots level action, challenging cultural practices and supporting the multiple roles of women including as income earners and caregivers. |

| Results and Impact | The GRRIPP- South Asia team held a dissemination event on 14-15 June, 2022 at the Centre on Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the Pacific (CIRDAP) Auditorium, in Dhaka Bangladesh. The event was co-organized by the Gender and Disaster Network (GDN) and Institute of Disaster Management and Vulnerability Studies (IDMVS), University of Dhaka. The two day event aimed to share activities and results from the 7 projects that were awarded GRRIPP funding in South Asia. Representatives from these projects joined in person and online, as well as guests from other organisations in Bangladesh and abroad. Over 167 participants joined the event, including the Honourable Vice Chancellor of University of Dhaka, State Minister of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR), regional advisory board members of GRRIPP South Asia, members of Global GRRIPP team and awardees, awardees, government experts, professionals working in the development sector (Centre for Women and Children Studies, NAHAB, ADPC, UN Women, Friendship, IFRC, CCDB, REACH), academia (BUET, BoU, BUP, Jagannath University, Daffodil University), researchers, practitioners, media representatives (The Daily Samakal, TheDaily Star, Campus Times, etc.) and students of Institute of Disaster Management and Vulnerability Studies. The dissemination event not only created opportunities to share the findings of the commissioned projects but also generated new prospects for collaborating with each other. For example, under the curriculum development theme, GRRIPP South Asia saw an opportunity to create a holistic curriculum for South Asia, which utilises the work of both India and Bangladesh awardees. Even new ideas, such as developing a national strategy on "Gender and Intersectionality" for the government, were also raised during the closing remarks of the state minister of disaster management and relief, Bangladesh. |

If the answer was yes, the projects were asked to stand on the right side of the room and if 'no', they were asked to stand on the left. Once answered, projects were given the opportunity to discuss the reasoning behind their answers. Some of these questions included: ~ Is there anything you would have done differently in your project? ~ Do you think that in two years' time, the impacts of your project with remain and be visible? ~ Is the concept of gender useful to you in your everyday work? The session concluded with a short discussion led by GRRIPP's PI Professor Maureen Fordham and GRRIPP 's Intersectionality Thematic Lead Professor Sarah Bradshaw on "how do we describe GRRIPP?". |

| Results and Impact | This third activity, led by Prof. Maureen Fordham and Dr Punam Yadav, focused on networks and encouraging networking amongst the GRRIPP regions. After discussing the many forms of networks such as practice-specific networks, theory-based networks, and networks which practice in specific areas, GRRIPPers were then organised into regional groups to discuss networks important to them. Task 1: Groups were asked to write down networks that they were a part of and aware of in their region onto sticky notes. This process is known is "free listing". Task 2: Groups were asked to organise the networks they mentioned into categories, whether that's according to theme or impact i.e. local or national. Task 3: After adding all the regions sticky notes to the large paper in the centre of the room, everyone as a group was asked to add any global networks they are a part of or are aware of. The session led to a really great discussion with plans for future collaboration amongst GRRIPP awardees and their networks. The networks collected contributed to the GRRIPP Database of Networks: https://www.grripp.net/networks |

| Results and Impact | In Santiago de Chile, five projects were involved, executed in Chile (Metropolitan Region, Valparaíso Region, Ñuble Region, Araucanía Region), Colombia (Bogotá) and Argentina (Buenos Aires, Córdova, Neuquen, Río Negro). Dr. Ana Falú (professor of the University of Córdoba and renowned activist for women's rights), Dr. Gonzalo Lizarralde (specialist in disaster risk management at the University of Montreal) and Dr. Paola Jirón (professor at the University of Chile, specialist on issues of mobility and territory) alos joined and provided reflections on the concepts of care, risk and vulnerability in their social and environmental dimensions. The territorial approach was incorporated into the concept of care. Thus, the relationship between care and habitat was explored going beyond the reproductive field (domestic), to also include the community, the city's infrastructure, and the relationship with nonhumans (such as the environment). During the event, field visits were also made to the localities of the projects, the communes of Santiago, Conchalí and Lampa. The realization of these three events in person has had a huge effect positive among participants, allowing them to weave new networks, strengthening capabilities and opening perspectives for future actions. |

| Results and Impact | This interactive panel brought together 6 of our GRRIPP commissioned projects from Brazil, Chile, Dominican Republic, India and Zimbabwe to discuss "Gender, care and livelihoods in times of crisis". Our guests were unions, grassroots organisations and NGOs defending the rights of women informal workers, care givers, and Afro-descendant communities who struggle to survive in times of crisis. They provided insights into how they resist against every day risks and disasters, and the strategies they have implemented to produce social change. Throughout the panel discussions, the panellists shared their perspectives on care and livelihoods, the work of their projects, and how their communities managed (or didn't) through Covid-19. Key messages included: - Care is the first act of productivity in any society. We need to value this kind of work - not least because we will all be caregivers and we will all be looked after at some point in our lives. - We must start from the principle that it is necessary to value indigenous knowledge and territorial practices around care. - The ultimate challenge is in visibilising care work and understanding that it's integral to how we as a society interact with each other. As well as 65 in-person attendees and 80 online, we were also delighted to welcome the Chilean Ambassador to the UK, Susana Herrera Quezada, and UKRI's Sylvia Marillier, who listened intently to discussions. The event was livestreamed, recorded and had simultaneous live translation in English, Portuguese and Spanish - so a huge thank you and well done to everyone involved on the audio-visual side of the event, too. |

Since then, GRRIPP collaborated with the Green Party to produce 'A Gender and Intersectionality Responsive Climate Adaptation Plan for London - Green Party AMs & GRRIPP: https://www.grripp.net/londonclimateresiliencereport |

The group were delighted to be joined by Virginia Murray, currently Head of the Global Disaster Risk Reduction at Public Health England and a member of the Integrated Research on Disaster Risk scientific committee, to deliver a guest talk. Virginia introduced the threats of climate change and explained why the climate crisis is not gender neutral, disproportionately affecting women and gender minorities. She discussed the link between climate change and public health stressing that climate change is intrinsically connected with public health and the importance of frameworks and policies in addressing these issues, both of which should be considered with a gender responsive approach. Virginia went on to discuss the current platforms and organisations that the audience can get involved in to encourage collaborative research and become advocates for gender responsive resilience. |

| Results and Impact | Last Friday (13 October 2023), we launched the GRRIPP reference guide on sexual and gender minorities. It was no coincidence that this launch occurred on the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, a day which this year had a theme of "fighting inequality for a resilient future." We chose this moment for a reason-to spotlight an often-overlooked aspect of disaster risk reduction: the inclusion and empowerment of sexual and gender minorities. We were grateful to have been joined by over 70 people in person and just over 20 online to mark the launch of our new reference guide. During the event the online webinar system was hacked and hateful iconography and hate speech was broadcasted to the audience. This was quickly shut down by the team/panellists and the event continued. This experience prompted the team to write and publish a statement on defying trolls and the statement was widely shared across multiple social media sites. After reading the blog, the Reference Guide Team were contacted by many people and were invited to join a formal discussion group for the Humanitarian Cluster as well as being invited to deliver a training session on Gender and sexual Minorities in DRR to the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience which will have an audience of over 400 Professional Practitioners. The team are also working on an academic article to submit to a journal. |

| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Undergraduate students |
| Results and Impact | This presentation offers some examples of the ways the gender and disaster connection has been addressed, sidelined or simplified and some thoughts about continuing gaps, challenges and opportunities. For example, we will explore how Bangladesh has made a major gender responsive input to their National Resilience Programme, the goal of which is 'To sustain the resilience of human and economic development in Bangladesh through inclusive, gender responsive disaster management and risk informed development' (here). In policy areas (e.g the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030), we have seen some enhancement of the gender focus since earlier Global Frameworks, but we still need to make the case for a vision that goes beyond a narrow focus on women and on women as vulnerable, and that addresses intersectionality. THE SPEAKER: Maureen Fordham BSc PhD is Professor of Gender and Disaster Resilience and is the Centre Director of the IRDR Centre for Gender and Disaster at UCL. She has been researching disasters since 1988 and is an expert on gender and intersectionality; community-based disaster risk reduction; and vulnerability analysis. She focuses on the inclusion/exclusion of a range of marginalised social groups in disaster risk reduction but particularly women and girls. Prof Fordman was a founding member of the Gender and Disaster Network in 1997 (https://www.gdnonline.org/). She has been a governmental advisor at all scales from local through national to the global UN level. She is currently exploring, among other things, the gendered nature of lived experiences of the city and the lack of gender responsiveness in post-disaster reconstruction; and the inclusion and leadership of women and marginalised groups in disaster risk reduction. She is the PI for the GRRIPP project: 'Gender Responsive Resilience and Intersectionality in Policy and Practice' - a UKRI Collective Fund' award (www.grripp.net) and also a partner in the RiskPACC project: Integrating Risk Perception and Action to enhance Civil protection-Citizen interaction, Horizon 2020 (www.riskpacc.eu). |

This was a historic moment that marks the struggle of the Amazonian feminist movement for public policies. This Agenda, supported by the GRRIPP project, was produced collectively by women from the nine States of the Brazilian Legal Amazon. It presents strategies to strengthen public policies for women in the forests, lands and waters. In addition to developing proposals that make it possible to advance, guarantee, and expand rights over territories in an intersectional and integrative perspective of multiple realities, the Agenda aims at influencing changes in the public agenda that improve the quality of life of women in their pluralities. The Pan-Amazon Social Forum (FOSPA) is a global event that takes place within the scope of the World Social Forum, with the goal to fight for life, for the Amazon, and its peoples. It is a space for the articulation of peoples and social movements for political and cultural existence and resistance against the neoliberal, neocolonial, extractive, discriminatory, racist and patriarchal development model. |

| Results and Impact | Coinciding with the occasion of the UCL Centre for Gender and Disaster's 5th anniversary, we brought to the spotlight international speakers from our GRRIPP commissioned projects in Latin America, Africa and South Asia. Guests addressed the challenges of integrating gender, intersectional and decolonial approaches to multiple violences against women, disaster management and resilience. We engaged in particular with issues around curriculum design, intersectional policies for women, LGBTQI+ communities and people with disabilities, as well as multiple forms of violence in disaster contexts. Panel 1: focused on "resisting multiple forms of violence in times of crises". Speakers included: Lavanya Shanbhogue from Jamsetji Tata School of Disaster Studies (pictured at the podium), Lillian Adriko from FIDA Uganda, UCL's Dr Virginie Le Masson (chair), Graças Xavier from União de Moradia, Shamim Kabr from Integrated Environment Development Society with translation by Awfa Islam from the University of Dhaka. This panel focussed on violence in heterogenous forms and situations, from worker exploitation to sexual violence, recognising that violence can be both overt and covert. Panellists discussed carving the path to sustainable resilience through spreading and sharing knowledge, awareness, capacity-building, advocacy at all levels, and particularly through survivor-led advocacy. Since one form of covert violence can be epistemic violence, knowledge production must be in solidarity and collaboration with all parties involved. Women aren't homogenous and these differences are a resource to understand our plural and diverse realities. Panel 2: focused on "Intersecting disasters: inclusive approaches to resilience". Bringing 'gender' into 'resilience', panellists discussed the necessity of understanding the causes that make risks into disasters to promote intersectional resilience.This included a focus on gender, disability and location as all impacting vulnerability. Panellists also discussed the power of connection, collaboration, networks and ancestral religious practice as integral to resilience. Speakers included: UCL's Olivia Walmsley (chair), Moabia Ferreira dos Anjos from Quilombo do Catucá, Muna Sharma from Tribhuvan University, Claudia Cardenas from Corporación Gestión de Riesgos y Desastres, Chile (speaking at podium), and Awfa Islam from the University of Dhaka. We were joined by 45 people in-person and 35 online who listened to our two panels discuss gender and intersectional approaches to resilience.

Our guests came from a variety of working levels, from grassroots women's empowerment to collaboration with municipalities and national level policy impact. These different organisations discussed the challenges of promoting gender and intersectional perspectives into climate adaptation plans and development programmes, and shared with us learnings from their indigenous and ancestral knowledge about nature, the environment and sustainability. Jeannette Calvet, Agape hidrícos (Chile) Rabiul Haque, Dhaka University (Bangladesh) Lorena Donaire, Agape hidrícos (Chile) Concita Maia, Instituto Mulheres da Amazônia (Brazil) Valentina Marco, Argentine Network of Municipalities facing Climate Change (Argentina) Maria Matui, Gender and climate change coalition (Tanzania) Ramona Miranda, Duryog Nivaran (Sri Lanka) Co-chaired by Dr. Louisa Acciari and Olivia Walmsley, discussions focussed on the intersection between climate risks and vulnerabilities of the population, considering how access to services or resources, such as water, is a gender and intersectional issue. Participants spoke of the 'cascading and compounded effects' on rural or racialised women, people with disabilities and other minority groups. We were joined by over 70 people in person and over 100 online who came to engage with our wonderful panellists. Panellists were approached by audience members to express a change of views from listening to the discussion and an interest in persuing the topic further. |

| Results and Impact | On 8 Feb 2023, GRRIPP hosted the first international seminar - 'Livelihoods & Care in Times of Crisis' - involving projects from all three regions, as well as UK GRRIPPers. From LAC region, the UK welcomed awardees Chã de Terra and Quilombo do Catucá (Brazil), SUR Corporación (Chile & Argentina) and Ciudadanas Ciudando (Chile), and FENAMUTRA (Dominican Republic). From Africa, GRRIPP UK welcomed Echoes of Humanity (Zimbabwe), and from South Asia, SEWA Bharat (India). GRRIPP UK was also pleased to welcome and host GRRIPP South Asia's Regional Lead, Professor Mahbuba Nasreen, GRRIPP Africa's Monitoring and Evaluation Coordinator, Dr Kylah Forbes-Biggs, and LAC Regional Advisory Board Member Maite Rodríguez Blandon. Guests from women-led unions, grassroots organisations and NGOs defending the rights of women informal workers, care givers, and Afro-descendant communities provided insights into how they resist against everyday risks and disasters, and the strategies they have implemented to produce social change. The panellists shared their perspectives on care and livelihoods, the work of their projects, and how their communities managed (or didn't) through Covid-19. Three key messages were shared collectively: 1) Care is the first act of productivity in any society. We need to value this kind of work - not least because we will all be caregivers and we will all be looked after at some point in our lives. 2) We must start from the principle that it is necessary to value indigenous knowledge and territorial practices around care. 3) The ultimate challenge is in visibilising care work and understanding that it's integral to how we as a society interact with each other.Our Global GRRIPP colleagues were involved in a range of exciting networking and knowledge exchange events across the week We were delighted to welcome the Chilean Ambassador to the UK, Susana Herrera Quezada, to the event who listened intently to discussions, as well as 65 in-person and 80 online guests. |

| Results and Impact | The talkshops focused on finding the reason why young women do not register to vote and ways to encourage them to be interested to become voters and them participating as candidates. The meetings were done with different groups of young women in the listed areas and each group consisted of 20 young women drawn from these communities and they voluntarily participated in these talkshops. Generally, the talkshops were conducted in areas were there are people with little or no knowledge about current affairs of the state hence the need to engage these young women to enlighten them on how they could be part of these elections. The outcome of these talkshops saw a rise in young women registering to vote and some volunteering to be part of the election observers which was a step in the right direction as it indicated that the young women comprehended the message which they were given. Alongside the Talk Shops, a Tertiary Students Training session also took place and was aimed at promoting the number of young women who participate in both university and state political programs. There were relatively smaller numbers of young women who participated in SRC elections and also for those who had registered to vote. These young women had fear of being labeled as the polarized political environment denigrates women who participate in political activities. The young women were also taught on the conduct of becoming an election observer and how they were supposed to record their finding using social media as a tool of reporting anomalies and the election environment on elections day. These trainings were done on different days and each session had 20 young women from tertiary institutions. |

| Results and Impact | Dr Punam Yadav, GRRIPP Co-Investigator, conducted a series of workshops on Mithila Art in Nepal, between 6th and 18th May 2023. Mithila Art is an ancient art form of art practiced for centuries in the Mithila region of Nepal and Bihar of India. It has a rich history and cultural significance. Despite increased attention to the Mithila Art, there has been no research on the impacts of these shifts; from the disappearance of the Mithila Art from the walls of people's homes to the re-emergence of it in a commercialised form on the walls of the rich. The aim of these workshops was to explore the reasons behind its disappearance and the gendered consequences of these trends. The workshops also aimed to explore the impacts of NGOisation, urbanisation and Internationalisation of the Mithila arts on the everyday life of women in Mithilanchal. Two workshops and three meetings were conducted in Kathmandu and province two, with policy makers, artists, journalists and local women and men. The next step is to conduct a pilot study. These consultation workshops and the learning from them were helpful in designing the pilot research |

| Results and Impact | Belen Desmaison (LAC Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning) presented at the Society of Architectural Historians 75th Annual International Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which began on the 27th April. She presented "Inhabitation as heritage: settlement relocation in the Peruvian Amazonia" by Belen Desmaison (PCUP) and fellow GRRIPPers, Pablo Vega Centeno (PCUP) and Maureen Fordham (UCL). The paper discusses the context of displacement because of climate change, and describes how around 16,000 people are being relocated by the Peruvian government to Nuevo (new) Belén due to the changing course of the Amazon river, which will eventually take over the area where Belén is located. The paper explores the particular histories of adaptive strategies, livelihoods, architectural configurations, and ways of being that are rendered invisible in the relocation process. It focuses on the links between 'place' and climate-induced resettlement, where building a city from scratch renders visible the tensions between top-down decisions and local ways of being. The paper presents emplacement - the creation of place - as a political practice that challenges top-down impositions of displacement, and recommends a re-envisioning of Amazonian urbanism and mobility through a decolonial feminist lens in the co-production of communal proposals to city-making, access to basic services and resources, and the implementation of social infrastructure. |

The SDGs (Sustainability Development Goals) were then introduced as well as international agreements and the need for them. The cohort were then put into groups to come with a gender responsive action plan that fit into one of the COP 28 themes after hearing a presentation on the successes of microfinance* (to challenge gender inequality in rural India) as inspiration. The teams did exceptionally well, tackling different COP themes with original, and well-thought- out projects that could be implemented. Keep your eyes peeled for a GRRIPP blog all about this workshop! With thanks to Womenvai and Akshatha Giridhar for their contributions.

| Results and Impact | The Jamsetji Tata School of Disaster Studies (JTSDS), an India-based awardee from GRRIPP South Asia, conducted a Regional Consultation comprising of grassroots voices and civil society organizations to document the lived and felt experiences of disasters from people across the gender spectrum and range of marginalities. Over 15 organizations and several grassroots-level activists and disaster survivors participated. An intersectional inquiry in the areas of gender and disaster experiences were documented to strengthen and enhance gender consciousness in disaster pedagogies, education and research through the inclusion of contemporary and emerging gender perspectives. Perspectives on caste, class, disability, conflict, rights of intersex persons, transgender persons, experiences of marginal women farmers, voices of community first responders and impacts on lives, livelihoods and recovery were documented. This was the first step to revise curriculum by amplifying gender as a category of analysis. |

| Results and Impact | This activity was done as part of the project to infuse the aforementioned perspectives through a peer-review process, to find gaps in the current pedagogy, as well as to help develop a detailed model curriculum and guideline that is intersectional and cognizant of distinct viewpoints, differential vulnerabilities and differential abilities to cope and adapt to disasters and climate change. The rationale behind the consultation was multi-faceted: To find the gaps and potential scope for improvement in the current DM curriculum which we believe is gender sensitive and has social inclusion and intersectional perspectives. To examine and see if the technical aspects of DM being taught are informed from the aforementioned perspectives. To generate and integrate newer perspectives that come up during the discussions, holistically and strategically. Strengthen the curriculum further to include the social relations that were hitherto hidden or only partially visible.

| Results and Impact | Between March 18th and 19th, the IV National Assembly of Mayors of the Argentine Network of Municipalities Against Climate Change (RAMCC) took place in Mar del Plata, Argentina. RAMCC acts as the national coordinator for Argentina on the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (GCoM), initiative funded by the European Union. This edition of the assembly had the financial support of the European Union, through the GCoM Americas project. The most important space for meetings and exchanges between leaders of local governments belonging to the RAMCC reflected on the projects that are being developed with a focus on climate mitigation and adaptation actions, and the definition of future strategies. At this event. progress was made in including a gender approach in Local Climate Action Plans in the Neuquen Region, Río Negro, Argentina. National climate change adaptation plans are detailed documents that include climate threats and define strategic and appropriate actions to develop public policies. RAMCC works to ensure inclusivity in these plans, as studies have shown that groups most affected by the environmental crisis are women, children and adolescents, and older adults from peripheral areas and marginalised areas. Inclusion concerns were centre-stage during the IV National Assembly. Participants included hundreds of Mayors and local government officials who took away from the discussions a vision of building cities based on sustainable and inclusive development, and a conviction to implement comprehensive and cross-cutting public policies with a gender approach. |

| Results and Impact | Workshops were designed and to help develop an institutional UNIDOR based gender-responsive policy. The participatory approach sought to create a document that is representative of the community of affected persons and to elevate women's voices through their active involvement in the design of a UNIDOR integrated gender policy. On 17/03/2022 with 24 participants able to review the draft gender policy (14 women, 10 men), and on 26/03/2022 Food Security and Livelihoods Staff (25 persons) were trained at the field location on the policy and its integration in the resilience programming, while 60 UNIDOR staff and the board of director were trained on the policy, (25 women and 35 men), and on 31st March the first policy draft shared with GRRIPP and UNIDOR staff for verification. Initial data collection activities have contributed to the production of a UNIDOR Policy document. This document was used as the basis for training 26 members of UNIDOR staff (Food & Livelihoods Security). While the project reported on activities there was a shift in grantee oversight and some of the key data collection activities were not completed in a manner which would solicit the most useful data to inform the policy output. After discussions the grantee has been willing to support additional data collection, analysis and reproduction of the policy. |

Participants included with representatives of local governments and universities from the cities of Santiago in Chile, Bogota in Colombia and Cordoba and Buenos Aires in Argentina. Practice: Based on the theoretical framework of "community care", the experience in Argentina maps community care services, such as soup kitchens, soup kitchens, canteens, neighbourhood community centres, community gardens, highlighting the role of community and women's organisations in the provision of care. Especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, community care services have been key to the sustainability of the lives of women caregivers, due to their reduced access to economic resources and care overload. Community care services provided food and school support, minimising the impacts of virtuality, connectivity and equipment. Similarly, in Chile, the role of community kitchens was emphasised. The link between the common cooking pots and Family Health Centres was highlighted, in order to coordinate the targeting of food delivery to families and individuals most affected by the disease. The role of Neighbourhood Councils and Local Development Councils was also recognised. |
