The integration of Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) in trade is gaining momentum, but much work remains to translate awareness into understanding and action. As trade and investment programs evolve, it's critical that trade policy experts deepen their grasp of GEDSI issues and equally, that GEDSI specialists are equipped to engage with trade, investment, and economic integration topics.

This glossary was developed by the Katalis team to demystify GEDSI concepts and support their practical application within the IA-CEPA framework. Originally created as an internal knowledge series, it has now been compiled into a public resource to broaden awareness and foster more inclusive trade practice.
