The TAAP Approach is an analytical framework, a set of five guiding principles, and a series of practical steps for integrating universal and transformative strategies and practices throughout a project cycle. There is a 4 phase process,the second phase of which is the SI Analysis. At the end of this phase, you will have:
1. A clear set of Terms of Reference for a Social Inclusion Analysis
2. A Social Inclusion Analysis report with the following content:
i. A clear analysis of the state of social inclusion, marginalization and exclusion in your context and content area, including root causes of social marginalization and exclusion as well as boosters for, and barriers to, positive social change.
ii. A clear understanding of intersectionality and how that affects the social inclusion, marginalization, and exclusion of various individuals and identity groups.
ii. A set of clear recommended actions and methods that can help you transform agency, access, and power.
• Accessible and intuitive toolkit
• Global snapshots (the global situation in brief for each identity group: displace persons; LGBI persons; older persons; persons with disabilities; racial, ethnic, and indigenous identities; religious identities; women and girls; youth) with selected boosters and barriers.
• Real-world scenarios that illustrate TAAP principles and approach in action.
• An expanded discussion of the Theory of Change and how TAAP activities promote change at different levels of the Social Ecological Model.
Additional inclusion indicators.
• A good facilitator is required, who takes care to remember and to remind everyone in the group that each category of analysis incorporates many aspects, not just the most obvious ones, otherwise the exercise's ability to be critical is undermined.
• The matrix requires repetition of the analysis over time. Once begun, the process must be continued to ensure that negative perceptions and stereotypes about gender roles are challenged.
• Does not consider the opportunities orc onstraints that may be presented by the implementing agencies or external forces beyond the community.
• It may be difficult to define who is actually participating in the project, or who should be deemed "the community."
