The study also looked at how development organisations view intersectionality and the challenges to incorporate it. In this context, intersectionality is used as a category of practice that has been further developed as a theoretical concept. Participation as the New Tyranny was also included as a theoretical concept to comprehend the challenges of an intersectional approach to integration. A case study of ActionAid International Nepal and Saathi Nepal was conducted as part of the research, using virtual interviews and text analysis as methods. The findings indicate that when planning programmes, intersectionality is noticed; however, it is lost during the implementation process in search of inclusion and participation. (Less)
