On 18 October 2022 (10:00 - 11:30 PM EAT, UTC +3), Poverty-Environment Action for Sustainable Development Goals (PEA) organized a knowledge-sharing webinar on Mainstreaming Gender in Poverty-Environment and Climate Change Objectives. The webinar brought together PEA countries, Technical Assistance Projects, Partners, and other stakeholders working on gender mainstreaming in environment and natural resource management sectors, to share lessons and approaches to gender mainstreaming.
PEA has been applying a gender and rights-based approach to integrating poverty-environment objectives which include:
- Influencing national and, where applicable, sub-national budgets; and enhancing coherence of relevant policies, plans, and budgets
- Enabling legal, regulatory, and fiscal reform
- Improving the evidence base for demonstrating the impact of poverty-environment mainstreaming policy changes
- Strengthening public sector capacity to engage the private sector and promote quality investment in support of environmental sustainability and climate objectives for poverty eradication
- Strengthening advocacy for poverty-environment mainstreaming and the role of “champions” in the public sector, parliament, civil society, and the private sector
- Enabling strategic partnerships and improving coordination and complementarity with other development actors and initiatives at the country level.
