Hi Deborah! (Again, sorry for the delay)

Regarding unpaid domestic labor and sexual division of labor, in my literature review of gender and forest in Mexico this emerged as a key issue in forestry policy and governance. Not only because the extra workload that women have affects their opportunities to participate in decision-making, but also because usually they do forest activities that aren’t considered “important” (e.g NTFP collection and domestic use). Then, I think that this will come up as barriers.
I think that the daily routine clock technique is great to analyze time use and work valuation. I find that this FAO publication may be useful: http://www.fao.org/3/i9926es/I9926ES.pdf (see page 22)

Hope this is usefull!

Hi Deborah, sorry for the delay and thanks for your interest!

You reminded me that I still have to read that WB paper 🙂

Regarding my recommentations to improve GM in REDD+, I think the basis is that gender mainstreaming shouldn’t be reduced to a technocratic additive to comply with international and national commitments. Istead, it should drive policies framed in REDD+ to promote the economic, political and cultural changes necessary to advance towards gender equality. So, strategic gender needs must be adressed, acknowledging the sexual division of labor and increasing women’s power and control over land and forests resources. Particularly, the difference between women and men’s total workload in mexican forest communities ts overwhealming. This is why I believe that the exclusive focus on increasing women participation in REDD+ activities it’s so danger. Rather than try to add women to an already designed policy, the gender perspective should be involved from the very definition of the policy problem to its evaluation.

I haven’t found best practices that are based on critical analysis of REDD+ implementation.

Here I share with you my master’s thesis, where I go deeper into these ideas (It’s in spanish, though) http://132.248.9.195/ptd2021/septiembre/0814876/Index.html

Thank’s again for your comments.

Thanks for your reply. I hope you will test those stories or myths based on hard data. I am very curious about results.

Thank you Catherine! Apologies for the delayed response. We are currently writing the paper based on this work. That’s interesting! Sure, we would like to.

Haruo-san, thank you for your reply. Yes, we have to carefully observe what will happen in the near future as a result of launching new forest management system and the tax. I hope we will continue exchanging information and opinion. See you!

Thank you. I feel happy to communicate with you this time. See you!

Thank you for clarifications. It was nice time for me to communicate with you!!
