Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) and Child Protection
CLEAN UP NEPAL is committed to integrating Gender Equality, Disability, and Social
Inclusion (GEDSI) and Child Protection into all waste management, climate action, and
environmental programs. Our strategy ensures gender-responsive and inclusive
interventions, promoting equitable access to resources, leadership opportunities, and
livelihood support for women, gender and sexual minorities, marginalized groups, and
persons with disabilities. Programs are designed with inclusive policies, affirmative action,
and intersectional approaches, ensuring no discrimination, equitable beneficiary selection,
and safeguarding of vulnerable populations.
In line with child protection principles, CLEAN UP NEPAL prevents child labor, prohibits
engagement of staff or volunteers under 18 years, and integrates child rights awareness in
all activities. Trainers and staff receive orientation on child safety, consent, and policy
adherence.
By combining inclusive program design, capacity building, advocacy, and safeguarding
measures, CLEAN UP NEPAL promotes safe, equitable, and empowering environments
where communities, children, and vulnerable groups can participate fully and benefit
sustainably from environmental, waste management, and climate initiatives.
