Forests, Trees and Agroforestry Gender as an overarching theme

Forests, Trees and Agroforestry for Green Growth

Research to impact

Intermediate Development Outcomes 1. Policies and practices supporting sustainable and equitable

management of forests and trees developed and adopted by conservation and development organizations, national governments and international bodies.

2. Greater gender equity in decision-making and control over forest and tree use, management and benefits are improved through women’s empowerment.

3. Income from products and environmental services derived forests, trees and agroforestry systems enhanced.

4. Productivity, production and availability of foods, fuel and other products from forests and agroforestry systems increased for poor rural people.

5. Resilience to environmental and economic variability, shocks and longer term changes of rural communities enhanced through greater adaptive capacity to manage forests, trees and agroforestry.

6. Forest, land and water resources and biodiversity conserved and improved and net carbon sequestration increased in key target countries.

Greater gender equity in decision making and control over forest and tree use, management and benefits are improved through women’s empowerment. (ALL SLOs)

IDO

Gender equality in decision-making and control over FTA resources and relevant value chains results in increased incomes and benefits for women.

Incomes of men and women, and spending decisions

Income from FTAgoods and services controlled by women and men has increased such that gender inequality in income from these goods and services has decreased by at least 30 percent

Women’s increased control over FTA resources enhances family nutrition and health.

WEIA At At least 20-30% of women and their families have improved health conditions or have reduced incidence of common illness due to nutritional deficiency in program countries.

More secure tenure and rights for men and women increases access to diversified and improved food and tree species/varieties.

NuNumber of days without food shshortage in dry season

At least xx women and their families benefit from FTA products for food security for xx additional days during the dry season

Gender equality in participation in and influence over resource use decisions and benefits increases investments in sustainable resource management and reduces degradation.

Number and type of trees planted

Xx million women are newly empowered to plant and manage FTA resources in xx countries

Number of women and men in forest committees/councils

20-30% of members elected/appointed to forest management committees are women

Range of rights to forests and trees held by women and men

10-15% of women in program areas have control (i.e. stronger rights) over FTA resources at household and community levels

Number of NRM activities Increased number of women-initiated and

Achievement of IDO Metrics Targets

FTA Gender goals Three key expected results for 2012-

2014 – Increase gender analysis in CRP6

research • Gender disaggregated data generated

and gender analysis incorporated in research

– Effectiveness and relevance of gender-responsive research is improved through adaptive learning

• Monitoring and evaluation program designed and implemented

– Gender perspectives in research and policy enhanced and reinforced through knowledge sharing and dissemination

• Scientific and policy materials, mentoring, strategic interactions

Gender in CCAFS, FTA, WLE Food security and adaptive

capacity/resilience are joint outcomes dependent on changing gender cultures and norms, more equitable control over limited natural resources

How? By investing at least 10% of our theme and regional budgets

in gender in each of these CRPs By building upon and sharing gender-disaggregated data and

methods (e.g. Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index) via the CG gender network

By identifying key gender pathways and partnerships in our sites

Generating hard evidence and solutions (e.g. investable options for women)

Mainstreaming approach, within themes, FTA-wide Gender strategy approved Capacity building: training, workshops, resource materials,

fellowships, recruitment, consultants Institutional architecture: proposal development and approval Learning: annual monitoring of processes Sentinel landscapes Partnerships: multiple levels; multiple organizations (research and

practice, policy)

Current

Onward: Sustaining momentum Capacity—critical mass Institutional architecture: performance assessment;

accountability; Partnerships across the research/action cycle:

– Cross-CRP – Cross-level

Learning: mid-term evaluation of gender strategy
