Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion in Cambodia’s Policy Research and Dialogue Processes: A Qualitative Analysis

The “Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion in Cambodia’s Policy Research and Dialogue Processes: A Qualitative Analysis”presents an analysis of how gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) are integrated within Cambodia’s policy research and dialogue processes, with a particular focus on the knowledge sector and the practices supported under the Ponlok Chomnes II program. It examines both institutional systems and lived experiences to identify where inclusion is progressing, where it remains uneven, and what is required to move toward more consistent, meaningful integration.

The objectives of this Analysis are to:

  • Analyse barriers, opportunities, and specific needs of women,
    persons with disabilities, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,
    Queer/Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA+)
    individuals, indigenous and ethnic minorities, youth, and
    other disadvantaged groups in engaging with research and
    policy processes.
  • Assess how government institutions, research organisations,
    and communities integrate GEDSI principles into practice.
  • Identify realistic, actionable strategies to strengthen inclusive
    evidence generation and policy dialogue.
