Scaling diversity’s potential
The Innovation Services’s Diversity and Inclusion project “Reflections” advances efforts to drive cultural change within UNHCR and the wider humanitarian eco-system to increase diversity, inclusivity, and gender equity.
The project seeks to dig beneath the surface of our conversations around inclusion to understand how we innovate in the space of inclusion. We have reached out to people inside and outside of UNHCR, where vibrant discussions are ongoing, to find the stories and experiences that support the drive for structural and behavioural change.
Babusi gives firsthand insight into how a diverse team, benefitting from a range of backgrounds and a diversity of thought, brought to bear innovative results.
Going beyond the traditional, siloed metrics of diversity — e.g. gender, race, age — a nuanced understanding of diversity and inclusion looks to facilitate the collision of perspectives and experiences informed by a spectrum of educational, class, and occupational backgrounds.
