Context and Background

The development of the JEDIS Community Mobilization Guideline stems from a collaborative effort between GP MENA’s Community Mobilization Team and the JEDIS Department. This initiative aligns with GP MENA’s commitment to embedding Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Safety (JEDIS) principles into its programs and campaigns. Recognizing the need for a framework to effectively engage diverse allies and communities, the guideline seeks to ensure inclusivity, intersectionality, and collaboration.

The guideline will focus on incorporating underrepresented voices, prioritizing community-led campaigns, and fostering relationships built on trust and shared values. By addressing key aspects of language, gender, socio-economic diversity, and youth engagement, the guideline will serve as a cornerstone for equitable community mobilization.
