Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Lighthouses and Highlights2 This section details each of the eight DEI Lighthouse initiatives selected by the independent expert panel. Given that there is no “one-size-fits- all” solution for advancing DEI and driving enduring impact, the intention of this section is not to provide a list of initiatives to replicate but to illustrate key elements of what contributed to each initiative’s impact. The Key actions portion of each case provides a real-life example of the common success factors outlined in Table 1 in the previous chapter. These cases can serve as reference points for what works when considering how to improve DEI efforts within the context of an organization. The eight Lighthouse cases vary by aspiration, target population and other characteristics as follows: –Initiative geography: global reach (3); Jordan, Brazil, Portugal, West Africa (Senegal, Mali and Niger), and USA, Canada and Chile –Initiative scope: external (1), internal (4) and both (3) –Target population: women (6); LGBTQI+ people (1); people with disabilities, migrants and people at social risk (1) –Types of solutions: comprehensive strategies (3); upskilling programmes (3); finance for women and women entrepreneurs (1), safe spaces (1) The expert panel that selected the Lighthouses have also highlighted “stand-out” approaches from seven other submissions. Snapshots of each of these Highlights follow the eight Lighthouse case profiles and provide additional real-life examples in the context of initiatives designed to improve DEI outcomes for underrepresented groups.
