RT null T1 Gender and REDD+: Promoting Transformational Change and Innovation in REDD+ Action - UN-REDD Programme Info Brief Global A1 United Nations Environment Programme, A1 Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, K1 gender K1 woman K1 gender mainstreaming K1 forest management YR 2024 FD 2024-02 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/44922 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/44922 NO The concept of gender support within the Programme has evolved and grown over time through the use of a “learning by doing” approach. Through experience across regions, it has been found most effective to integrate gender equality and women’s empowerment as both stand-alone and cross-cutting interventions across the Programme’s thematic areas and within its technical support at the local, national, regional and global levels. In that process, a major lesson that has been learned, and which now serves as a key best practice, is the need to ensure that gender support and guidance is developed and validated using a bottom-up approach . Specific emphasis has been placed on promoting the active and equitable involvement of local and indigenous women, in order to have their knowledge inform national REDD+ action.
