The key objective of the manual is to enhance the understanding of gender and climate change linkages, skills and capacities of the CSOs for strengthening community-based women’s resilience and climate change adaptation. The practical benefit of this will be promotion of climate action on the ground with a gender equality perspective in the forefront. With this view, the manual uses country examples/case studies from within the region, where applicable. The manual builds on the existing materials/trainings and is developed as a comprehensive package of training manual to cover both beginners and advanced participants. Although focused on gender, the manual also encompasses other gender intersectionalities, including age, sexual orientation (all LGBTIQ), (dis)ability, social status, and others.
