Technical bookMaldivian gender roles in bio-resource management 1999

No results found.Rural men and women in small island countries have lived in a symbiotic relationship with the land and marine diversity that provides livelihood resources and contributes to household food security. Yet seldom are the gender specific roles of men and women in small island countries of South Asia documented in association with bio-resources management. The study examines the gender roles in livelihood resource management in the ecosystem context of Maldives archipelago, rich in natural wealth, pa rticularly marine bio-diversity. Gender specific roles and associated knowledge have played an important part in harvesting of bio-resources for households’ productive activities. Different roles and responsibilities of men and women in harvesting and managing terrestrial and marine-based resources are identified and analysed. The study also considers the more recent institutional and legislative framework for biodiversity management in the Maldives. -

Technical studyBUILDING THE BLOCKS OF GENDER-SENSITIVE SOCIAL PROTECTION AND NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This paper aims at understanding: i) how gender-sensitive and transformative instruments promote territorial development through women’s empowerment and ii) how these instruments can contribute to food security, rural development and poverty reduction. But first, it should be borne in mind that, usually, resources accorded to development programs are limited. For this reason it is crucial to analyze the affordability of such SP schemes according to country specificities and priorities. The pa per will also evaluate to which extent the gender-sensitive Transformative Social Protection framework has wide-ranging benefits for improving rural livelihoods. The Participatory and Negotiated Territorial Development (PNTD) and its updated version Improving Gender Equality in Territorial Issues (IGETI) approaches foster bottom-up participatory decision-making processes, enhances consensus building, addresses asymmetries of power and encourages social dialogue and partnerships among a wide rang e of actors within a territory towards promoting gender equality in land access and territorial development.
