Forests, Trees and Agroforestry Gender as an overarching theme
Bogor, 01 July 2013
The context We have exceeded 3 of the 9 Planetary boundaries: greater risks and uncertainty emerging.
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.

Gender: Research and Action
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
