Gender Training in Peru

Gender Workshop for Economic Growth and Environment Team and Partners

These Cajamarca women enjoy greater incomes and increased community roles as a result of their work hancrafting gold chains for export. Here, final assembly is performed.

Recognizing the critical role implementing partners play in supporting USAID/Peru's commitment to gender integration, the GATE/Peru training materials enhanced the Bangladesh model by designing a workshop for the USAID/Peru Economic Growth and Environment (EGE) team and their implementing partners.

The training supports USAID/Peru's strong commitment to gender integration, environmental protection and pro-poor growth by creatively using practical examples and designing exercises based on the scope and nature of Peru's economic growth and environment program.

The USAID/Peru training encourages USAID staff and partners to work together to identify specific strategies and actions that can be implemented as part of a joint Gender Action Plan.

Exercises Build Skills to Relate Gender to Activity Design, Implementation and Monitoring

Through a series of lectures and exercises, the EGE team and partners built their capacity to relate gender to project design, implementation and monitoring in their specific sectors.

For example, the materials help participants identify where gender issues might be found in agriculture, natural resource management, and micro and small enterprise programs, and potential responses in each sector.

Natural Resource Management and Biodiversity Gender Questions

For natural resource management and biodiversity projects, the materials suggest specific gender questions to uncover potential gender-based constraints in programming:

• Do men and women have different tasks or relate differently to resources?
• How are men and women selected and included in forestry management plans?
• Are there differences between men and women's coping strategies for natural disasters?

Through participatory exercises, participants identified potential interventions that might overcome some of these constraints, such as ensuring participatory or conservation planning occurs in places and at times when women can participate.
