Cold-chain through the lens of GESI - with Asha Singh
Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) in the cold-chain space is not only a pressing moral and social issue; it is critical for driving innovation, boosting efficiency, increasing resilience, and ensuring that no one is left behind in a sector that's vital for global health, food security, and economic growth. But how do we move beyond ideals and truly integrate GESI to unlock these benefits and catalyse sustainable development?
CCN is leading the way with actionable steps, embedding GESI into cooling and cold-chain programs, and transforming organisational practices. Our vision is to create an inclusive, equitable future in clean cold-chains — one that empowers everyone and creates new opportunities.
We’ve already made significant strides with pioneering initiatives, including:
- A GESI Scoping Report identifying key gaps and opportunities
- A GESI Framework to guide evidence gathering and project design
- Training Modules to integrate GESI into cooling and cold-chain interventions
- Internal GESI Monitoring & Evaluation Framework to track progress and refine approaches
Join us as Asha Singh, Research Fellow at the Centre for Sustainable Cooling, shares insights into how CCN is making GESI a central part of cooling and cold-chain projects.
Highlights from the talk include:
- Key findings on bidirectional impacts of GESI approach on cooling and cold-chain sector
- GESI lens to catalyse theory of change in cooling and cold-chain projects
- GESI sensitive monitoring, evaluation and learning framework for both formal and informal reviews
- Challenges of GESI integration in the cooling project cycle
