To achieve this, the brief provides a 'toolbox' of guidelines for SEI-US trainers divided into three phases: starting the conversation (e.g., ensuring diversity among trainers), creating an inclusive learning environment (e.g., selecting accessible locations and prioritizing sanitation), and monitoring and evaluation (e.g., measuring the quality, not just the quantity, of participation).","ai_generated":true,"unit":"sei-002491#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"There is a critical distinction between nominal participation, where individuals are simply counted, and active participation, where marginalized groups have a voice in decision-making that leads to empowerment.
