MEDA promotes equal realization of dignity and human rights for women and men to unleash their entrepreneurial and innovative potential to earn a sustainable livelihood.
Within our programs MEDA develops gender equality strategies based on gender analysis to ensure projects are designed and implemented with equity in mind, promote women’s and men’s equal access to and control of productive resources and opportunities, and ultimately greater equality.
MEDA’s gender work is programmed from an intersectional perspective that considers the multifaceted nature of discrimination faced by women and men according to their socio-economic status and personal identity.
MEDA is also committed to preserving the equity of its employees regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, religion, age, ability, health or marital status,1 and promotes this among the partners with whom it works.
MEDA reviews the Gender Equality Policy regularly and updates accordingly.
