Disability-inclusive & Gender-responsive Edits to TRANSFORM Modules
This document discusses revisions made to social protection training modules to make them more disability-inclusive and gender-responsive. The organization PRESTO revised 9 existing modules to incorporate best practices in gender-sensitive and disability-inclusive social protection based on evidence reviews and expert interviews. The revisions included short case studies, ensuring programs are designed to do no harm, and addressing issues like gender budgeting, inclusive monitoring and evaluation, and program design. An example case study describes a gender assessment conducted in Tanzania prior to scaling up electronic payments for a social protection program, which identified gaps in women's access to and use of technologies.

Gaps identified: • <70% of poor women live in a household with a cell phone . • mobile money use more common among men than women. • Only 3% of TASAF beneficiaries had national IDs to register sim cards in their names. • When given a choice in the e-payment pilot, only 31% of participants opted for e- payments. • Lack of technological know-how, lack of phones, and poor network coverage.
