Gender-Responsive Facilitation in Disaster Risk Fieldwork

This completed research synthesises CCI field experience on gender-responsive facilitation in DRR and anticipatory action data collection across coastal and training assignments.

Topics include timing of FGDs, composition of facilitation teams, safe spaces for discussion of shelter and WASH privacy, and how power dynamics in mixed groups silence critical risk information.

The study produced a facilitation checklist and training module now used in enumerator and associate orientation

Findings reinforce that gender-responsive methods improve both ethics and data quality — women often hold distinctive knowledge of household evacuation constraints and early warning failures.

The research product is cited in CCI proposals as evidence of GEDSI operationalisation beyond policy statements

Programme highlights

• Gender-responsive FGD protocols
• Enumerator orientation module
• Shelter and WASH privacy discussion guides
• Evidence base for GEDSI in proposals

CCI embeds gender-responsive methodologies, disability-inclusive data collection, and intersectional analysis across all fieldwork and reporting — not as an add-on, but as a core design principle.
