women working in the bio-businesses, although during the consultation process, women voiced their support for the
project and requested backing for more bio-businesses in their territories.
2. Training
The programme will include training activities with significant participation by women. Since these groups are a
critical part of bio-businesses, the project will start with training programmes for the specific tasks required in each of
the bio-businesses and will encourage leadership and participation in decision-making and control of all areas of the
businesses. Although, at present, only men participate in the land-use planning process, our team will seek specific
contexts in which women could make a meaningful contribution to these discussions.
In general terms, in order to incorporate women in spaces that allowed them to strengthen their abilities and
decision, actions will be taken in a progressive way. On the first stage, there will be work with men, either from the
community’s directive board or associations in general, to raise awareness around the importance of women’s
participation in training spaces, in decision making processes and in their associations. The advantages of
incorporating them in these spaces will be made visible to men; advantages in favor of their families, children, and in
the development of the community in general will be highlighted. During the second stage, the project is designed to
work with women in both, mixed spaces and exclusively, to promote their training and active participation in biobusinesses,
in the climate change observatory and in other activities promoted with the project.
Additionally, the project will include positive discrimination measurements (assignment of scores or preferences) to
assure that associations are conformed both by men and women, and even more, to assure that there are
association exclusively integrated by women. The project will strongly support women associations to work in biobusinesses,
among others. The work days or workshops developed with women will be done in hours that facilitate
their participation and in their towns, so they do not have to travel and be away from their families.
A gender-sensitive social analysis will be developed in the first year of the Project, in order to examine the roles of
women and men, according to their responsibilities, access, use and control over resources; as well as the
problems, needs, opportunities and benefits obtained by each role. This analysis will allow Profonanpe´s Project
Management Unit, to establish an appropriate strategy to gradually incorporate women in project activities.
The project will therefore:
• Be aligned with the Law of Equal Opportunity between Men and Women (Law N°2893 of 2007); 10
• Contribute to accomplish Strategic Objective 8 from the National Plan for Gender Equality 2012–2017,
specifically: 8.1 Environmental management at national and regional level with a gender approach; 8.2 Risk
management and natural disaster prevention, as well as natural resources management and care with a
gender approach; and 8.3 Increase access and use of natural resources by women 11 ; and
• Allow PROFONANPE to participate in meetings for the preparation of the Gender Action Plan for Adaptation
to Climate Change, and PROFONANPE will therefore assure that the project contributes to its
accomplishment.
