How can intersectional approaches help eye health programmes reach those most often left behind?

Intersectional inequities shape who accesses eye care, who is excluded, and whose voices inform programme design. This session brings lived experience and practice-based insight to explore how intersectional approaches can strengthen eye health programming in real-world contexts. Participants will examine how moving beyond single-issue lenses can improve analysis, planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation.

Key discussion elements

  • Understanding how intersectional inequities affect access to eye care
  • Bringing lived experience into programme design and decision-making
  • Applying intersectional approaches across planning, implementation, and evaluation
  • Strengthening eye health programmes to better reach excluded communities
