GENDER RESPONSIVE TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE LAND MANAGEMENT

Fantastic opportunity! a few spaces still left

The UNCCD Gender Action Plan (GAP) emphasizes the critical importance of gender equality and women’s empowerment in implementing the Convention. A key priority of the GAP is to increase women’s access to relevant knowledge and technologies. To fulfill these objectives, UNCCD and the World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT) joined forces in 2020 to advance gender-responsive Sustainable Land Management (SLM).

This collaboration between UNCCD and WOCAT focuses on documenting, analyzing and scaling gender-responsive SLM practices by gathering gender-disaggregated data. A specialized tool, co-designed with gender and SLM experts, identifies gender-based parameters as well as the technical and socio-cultural factors that enhance the adoption of SLM by both women and men.

In the initial phase of the project in 2021, WOCAT network partners in 15 countries tested the tool, showing promising results. As the Pambadeniya Women Group from Sri Lanka noted, “Women and men debated on how to guarantee equal opportunities in decision making, participation and fair distribution of benefits.” The data demonstrated that equal access to SLM technologies and approaches is both context- and technology-specific. Five technology group profiles on gender-responsive SLM were developed to show the need for further action.

Building on this success and following Decision 24/COP.15, UNCCD and WOCAT are now launching a call for expressions of interest to apply the gender-responsive SLM tool. This initiative aims to gather more country-specific gender-disaggregated data on SLM practices, which will be presented at the upcoming UNCCD COP16 in Ryiadh, Saudi Arabia, this December.

We are inviting up to 40 stakeholders to implement the gender-responsive SLM tool in local contexts from September to November 2024. Applications are welcome from UNCCD Parties, civil society organizations, WeCaN members and others involved in sustainable land management.

The application deadline is 4 August 2024. Submissions are accepted in English, French and Spanish. For more details on the call, application requirements, and the online application form, please see our website: https://www.unccd.int/news-stories/stories/unccd-stakeholders-worldwide…

¿Por qué deberíamos preocuparnos por el desequilibrio de género para una gestión eficaz de la sequía? Quizas porqué el ranking mundial de los países con mayor riesgo de sequía a nivel mundial en 2024 se encuentra en países de África, como Zimbawe, Somalia (Statista 2024), o en guerra como Ucrania en Europa. Este desequilibrio se basa en la vulnerabilidad o falta de resiliencia de los grupos más afectados. ¡Ahí es donde tienemos que dirigir los dardos...! ¿Qué opinas?
