About the Project

The Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP) is a partnership between the Australian Government and six Australian non-government organisations (NGOs), funded by the Australian Government.

The AHP Support Unit is managed by Alinea. In disaster risk reduction and resilience, the AHP delivers the Disaster READY program across the Pacific and Timor-Leste.

The Australian Humanitarian Partnership Support Unit (AHPSU) is seeking an individual or team to develop a Diverse SOGIESC Inclusion Toolkit and pilot it’s use in Disaster READY.

This Toolkit is intended as a practical document for AHP implementing partners to utilise, inform and improve inclusive SOGIESC practices for their community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) and resilience activities in their Disaster READY projects.

By contributing to efforts to mainstream diverse SOGIESC inclusion in humanitarian and development assistance, the Toolkit will help to ensure that no one is left behind and mitigate the exacerbated risk of discrimination and harm which people with diverse SOGIESC face during times of disaster.

As the Toolkit is rolled out, it is anticipated that its use will correlate with an increase in the number of DRR/CCA action plans developed through Disaster READY which address the specific needs of people with diverse SOGIESC as well as an increase in participation in DRR/CCA activities by people of diverse SOGIESC.
