Training on Gender-Responsive and Accessible Logistics Planning
Course Overview
What is Inclusive Transport and Gender-Responsive Logistics Planning?
Inclusive transport planning ensures that transport and logistics systems are designed to meet the diverse needs of all users—especially women, persons with disabilities (PWDs), the elderly, and other underserved groups. Gender-responsive and accessible logistics planning integrates equity, safety, and accessibility into infrastructure, policies, and operations.
Transport systems are often designed without considering the needs of vulnerable populations. This results in unsafe environments, limited accessibility, reduced mobility, and exclusion from economic and social opportunities.
This course provides a structured framework for designing inclusive, gender-responsive, and accessible transport and logistics systems. Participants learn how to integrate inclusivity into planning, policy, and operations to improve safety, access, and service delivery.
