Gender, Information Technology, and Developing Countries: An Analytic study (Executive Summary)
|
This document summarizes an analytic study of the link between gender and IT. It states that
while IT use in general by men and women in developing countries is low, it is even lower among
women due to factors such as literacy and education, accessibility and capacity. It argues the
use of IT is important for women, for example in agriculture to improve their productivity and
enabling conditions should be created.

*The Business Case for Mainstreaming Gender in REDD+
|
This paper discusses that integrating gender in to general climate and development activities
leads to more sustainable outcomes. It also explains that REDD+ projects would better meet
their goals of reducing emissions and ensuring equal benefits to women by recognizing women as
primary users of forests with valuable knowledge and experience, through gender analysis of
REDD+ processes and putting in place gender safeguards, indicators, standards and a
participatory design.

Late Developers: Gender Mainstreaming in the Energy Sector
|
This paper argues that the late development of gender mainstreaming into the energy sector is
due to the wrong perception that gender has no relevance to energy as it is too technical and
as engineers and energy economists have little social linkages. It provides a theoretical
framework for developing gender sensitive energy policies and discusses ENERGIA's approach.

|
Provides guidance and a comprehensive menu of practical tools for integrating gender in the
planning, design, implementation, and evaluation of projects and investments in climate-smart
agriculture (CSA). The module emphasizes the importance and ultimate goal of integrating gender
in CSA practices, which is to reduce gender inequalities and ensure that men and women can
equally benefit from any intervention in the agricultural sector to reduce risks linked to
climate change. Climate change has an impact on food and nutrition security and agriculture,
and the agriculture sector is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases.
