Mainstreaming Gender into ABS Value Chains - Gender Toolkit
The UNDP-GEF Global Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) Project´s gender toolkit helps ABS professionals in the design of gender-responsive interventions to accelerate gender equality and women's empowerment while at the same time advancing progress on access and benefit sharing. This user-friendly analytical framework features context, analysis, case studies and lessons learned to identify entry points to design gender smart and ABS value chains. The gender tool was designed with the idea of prototyping a user-friendly, low-cost and rapidly actionable analytical framework to understand the underlying gender dynamics within a given context applicable to genetic resources management and associated traditional knowledge and identify entry points to design gender smart and ABS value chains.
