Gender Equity and Equality

Gender inequality affects land, forests, livelihoods, education, technology and other key aspects of life. While inclusiveness is a key principle of a Model Forest, we recognize that we can improve representation of women and girls in our decision-making processes and programming. Better results mean increased well-being for both women and men, and the creation of a more sustainable society.

Our network will complete the development of a gender strategy and action plan, which aims to contribute to the process of institutionalization and mainstreaming of a gender approach in all of Asia’s Model Forests.
