Booklet 1 provides an overview of the action research and the key results learned during the work on the ground. In the exploration of four research questions, valuable insight was gained into the similarities and differences of experience, knowledge, willingness and
capacity in each country related to gender equality issues and REDD+. The action research revealed that three particularly important enabling factors need special attention: strong women’s networks (grassroots and professional); gender sensitive policies and political willingness; and technical capacities and knowledge among government and key stakeholders.
Booklet 2 turns the raw data and analysis into a practical tool geared toward REDD+ teams that are involved in the design, implementation and monitoring of gender sensitive REDD+ national programs and as well as the country teams that are involved in the REDD+ SES country-level interpretation of Indicators. The tool is designed to provide guidance (for countries developing their REDD+ national programs) on how to ensure that their strategies address gender considerations and to take strides towards becoming gender transformative.
