Actions by and for Women to adapt to Climate Change

EF 2023-24 · 2023-09-25

Résumé
The Women in Action project aims to increase climate change adaptation among vulnerable girls and women in the agricultural and forestry sectors in Sud- and Nord-Kivu, with benefits in terms of the conservation and restoration of forest biodiversity. Project activities include: (1) developing and equipping sites for climate-smart agricultural and agroforestry practices and nature-based restoration solutions; (2) providing protected-area managers, community leaders and private operators with training on positive masculinity and gender-based violence, and supporting the establishment of mechanisms to protect the rights of young women and women; and (3) providing technical support to forest concessions in local communities in terms of developing and monitoring simple management plans that prioritize the conservation and restoration of biodiversity, and supporting young women’s and women’s adaptation to climate change. The project’s beneficiaries, who will receive training on positive masculinity, are estimated to be over 5,000 men. In addition, the living conditions and food security of over 30,000 household members, young women and women will improve. Five local organizations will receive support so they can mentor young women and men in terms of implementing nature-based solutions and adapting to climate change using gender-sensitive methods, even outside the project.

Description (French)
Le projet Femmes en action vise à accroître l’adaptation aux changements climatiques des jeunes filles et des femmes vulnérables dans les filières agricoles et forestières, au Sud et Nord Kivu, avec des bénéfices en matière de conservation et restauration de la biodiversité forestière. Les activités de ce projet comprennent 1) aménager et équiper les sites pour les pratiques agricoles et agroforestières intelligentes, face au climat et aux solutions fondées sur la nature de la restauration; 2) former les responsables des aires protégées, leaders communautaires et concessionnaires privés sur la masculinité positive et sur les violences basées sur le genre, ainsi qu’appuyer la mise en place de mécanismes de protection des droits des jeunes femmes et des femmes; 3) fournir un accompagnement technique aux concessions forestières aux communautés locales dans l’élaboration et le suivi de plans de gestion simples priorisant la conservation et la restauration de la biodiversité, et l’appui à l’adaptation aux changements climatiques des jeunes femmes et des femmes. Les bénéficiaires du projet, qui doivent recevoir une formation sur la masculinité positive, s’estiment à plus de 5,000 hommes. À ce nombre s’ajoutent plus de 30,000 membres des ménages, des jeunes femmes et femmes, qui verront leurs conditions de vie et leur sécurité alimentaire s’améliorer. Cinq organisations locales vont bénéficier d’un appui afin qu’elles puissent, au-delà même du projet, encadrer les jeunes femmes et femmes dans la mise en œuvre de solutions fondées sur la nature et s’adapter aux changements climatiques selon des méthodes sensibles au genre.
Expected Results
The expected results for this project include: (1) increased and more equitable adoption of nature-based climate change adaptation and restoration solutions by and for young women and women in the agricultural and forestry sectors by providing biodiversity conservation and restoration benefits; (2) young women and women have increased control of resources and decisions within their groups and households, which are needed for growth and adaptation to climate change—this also includes their income-generating activities with benefits for forest biodiversity; and (3) young women and women have increased influence on communities, public services and the private sector in terms of taking into account their climate change and biodiversity restoration and conservation rights, issues and solutions.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) l’adoption accrue et équitable des solutions fondées sur la nature d’adaptation aux changements climatiques et de restauration par et au profit des jeunes femmes et femmes dans les filières agricoles et forestières. Particulièrement en produisant des bénéfices en matière de conservation et restauration de la biodiversité; 2) le contrôle accru par les jeunes femmes et femmes des ressources et décisions, au sein de leur groupement et ménage, nécessaires à la croissance et l’adaptation aux changements climatiques. Ce qui concerne également leurs activités génératrices de revenus avec bénéfices en matière de biodiversité forestière; 3) l'influence accrue des jeunes femmes et femmes auprès des communautés, services publics et secteur privé sur la prise en compte de leurs droits, enjeux et solutions en matière d’adaptation climatique, restauration et conservation de la biodiversité.
