Abstract
This guide to gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) analysis has been designed for government institutions and other organisations engaging on community coastal fisheries who wish to apply a GESI lens to their work, as an important step t o improving GESI best practice. Key Points: 1. A GESI analysis helps to identify the knowledge and expertise of different groups in communities and their respective roles in coastal fisheries, which are critical for the sustainable use and management of fisheries resources. 2. To ensure fisheries projects and programmes are inclusive, data for GESI analyses must be disaggregated by sex, age, ethnicity, and other relevant social categories. 3. A GESI analysis provides information that can be used to design interventions to ensure fisheries resources provide equitable benefits for every member of the community. 4. If equity and inclusion in fisheries are not addressed, key groups of people will continue to miss out, and fisheries management systems will be ineffective.
