This checklist provides practical guidance for integrating gender considerations into National Implementation Plans (NIPs) under the Stockholm Convention, recognizing that further efforts are needed to address how gender dynamics interact with cumulative exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
It identifies key entry points for gender mainstreaming throughout the NIP process and provides step-by-step guidance for integrating gender into hiring, procurement and training.
As part of the GEF-funded and UNEP-led “Global Development, Review and Update of NIPs under the Stockholm Convention on POPs” project, the Green Growth Knowledge Partnership (GGKP) is executing Component 4, focused on disseminating information, managing knowledge and coordinating with the Stockholm Convention Secretariat to provide accessible, integrated tools and resources for all Parties.
