Social Development Direct (SDDirect) is a social enterprise consultancy focused on gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) in development and humanitarian settings. With over 25 years of experience, we work to challenge global inequality and drive lasting change. Over time, we have expanded our areas of work to address other forms of discrimination and unequal power relationships, working on disability inclusion, LGBTQI+ rights, and anti-racism. We believe that different types of inequality such as race, age, class, socioeconomic status, physical or mental ability, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, religion, or ethnicity can combine to create even greater inequality, and we seek to understand and incorporate this in our work – this is known as taking an intersectional approach. As a social enterprise consultancy, our role is to offer the best quality advice, evidence and programme delivery to our partners and clients to help them make distinctive and lasting contributions to a more equal world. At the same time, we aspire ourselves to be a more inclusive organisation. We have a strong in-house team based at our head office in London and an international network of over 500 renowned social development professionals.
