The Nigeria Health Workforce Management (HWM) Activity integrates gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) into all project activities to maximize the effectiveness of programming. The GESI analysis investigates key constraints restricting or limiting women’s and men’s (including youth and persons with disabilities) participation, capacity-building opportunities, promotion, and retention in the rural health workforce. Banyan Global conducted the analysis between June and July 2021 through desk reviews of relevant literature, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions with selected stakeholders across the target states of Bauchi, Ebonyi, Kebbi, and Sokoto, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
