The Commonwealth Equality Project (CEP) is implemented by the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) and Kaleidoscope Trust (KT). The programme is funded by the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) as part of a broader initiative also titled the Commonwealth Equality Project, however the partnership between WFD and KT is discreet with its own project Theory of Change and Outcome Matrix. The programme implementation period is from October 2020 – March 2021.
CEP works with decision makers and civic actors in 13 commonwealth countries1 to make progress towards advancing gender equality and LGBT+ inclusion. Programme interventions are based on:
CEP reports to a Programme Steering Group comprised of WFD and KT representatives as well as to the FCDO via formal reporting mechanisms.
Countries were selected for interventions acknowledging the limited time-scale of the project and restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Programme interventions have been designed to factor existing relationships that WFD and KT already had established in targeted countries, and already existing movements, prioritisation, and progress in target countries towards greater equality. Where these factors do not exist, programme interventions have prioritised developing the evidence base to be used by decision makers and civic actors to make the case for greater equality.
CEP has also invested in global products to advance the objectives of the programme and with a view for usage beyond the life-cycle of the programme. These include an adaptation of WFD’s Post-Legislative Scrutiny (PLS) methodology, to be used by CSOs; research on the rights and status of Intersex persons in South Asia; the development of a SOGIE-inclusive CEDAW tracker; and an event on influencing change in informal political spaces.
