- Conduct focus group discussions with program participants (women, men, persons with disabilities, and refugees) to understand experiences and perceptions.
- Assess the extent to which gender equality, disability inclusion, and refugee inclusion are integrated across the program and the three focus subsectors.
- Analyze the gender sensitivity of the Sanara financing model, including access criteria, risk assessment, and disbursement mechanisms.
- Review the program's monitoring and evaluation framework, including the use of sex-, age-, and disability-disaggregated data.
- Develop a Gender Audit Report with practical recommendations and a Gender and Inclusion Action Plan.
