Gender in the NBDCJemimah Njuki Nile Basin Development ChallengeScience and Reflection WorkshopAddis Ababa, 4-6 May 2011

Rationale for gender within the Nile Basin Research Agenda Men and Women’s different roles in crop, livestock and land management Need to understand different roles of men and women in order to more effectively target interventions / information Need for approaches that reach women given their role in water management Different priorities for water use between men and women, need to understand these, integrate them in the project implementation process Technologies, market and institutional innovations are not gender neutral: Differential impacts of technologies (including RWM) interventions on men, women and other social groups Indicators to monitor processes and impacts on households but also on men and women Gender and power relations shape benefits, trade-offs, opportunities

Gender and Rain Water Management: What do we know? General review of water and land management strategies Constraints faced by men and women Differences in water use (consumption, income generation, crop production) Roles and status of men and women in land and water management Labour issues Water user’s associations, role and participation of women Impacts of technologies/ other innovations (not much gender disaggregation) Review of specific technologies Conservation agriculture-mainly focused on labour issues, decision making Watershed management-mainly on community participation and the role of women, negotiating benefits, some gendered impacts Terraces –labour issues, potential for women dominated crops on terraces

A framework for looking at gender issues in RWM Schematic representation of a gendered livelihood conceptual framework (GAAP, 2011)

Application of the framework to NBDC research and implementation

Questions for debate What are the key gender issues (access to land, etc) to consider to achieve the goal of improved livelihoods and environmental sustainability? How do we integrate gender into the innovation platforms, the action research, the modeling and the mapping?

The COBAM project has made a point of ensuring its research in the Congo Basin about climate change and forests is gender-responsive. This presentation outlines the approaches used in the COBAM project to ensure that gender is taken into account, and presents some preliminary results from the study. This presentation was given during CIFOR’s Annual Meeting 2012, which was held on 1–5 October at the headquarters in Bogor, Indonesia.

Emerging Pollutants governance 2013

Marwan Haddad

- Universities and research institutions in developed countries play a leading role in providing data and analysis to inform policy on pollutants in irrigation water. They work closely with the private and public sectors. - In contrast, universities and research institutions in developing countries have little contribution to policy evaluation and improvement. They operate in isolation without support. - To improve governance of pollutants, countries need to understand current national models and learn from challenges. They must also develop plans to actively engage universities and research in monitoring, analyzing data, and advising upgraded policies.

The document summarizes a participatory assessment of climate change adaptation priorities among smallholders in Kenya. Researchers conducted facilitated group discussions with male and female farmers in 5 districts to elicit local perceptions of climate change impacts, priorities for adaptation, and needed resources. Farmers in both humid/semi-humid and arid/semi-arid regions identified irregular rainfall, drought, and water shortages as key climate change indicators. Top adaptation priorities identified were irrigation/water infrastructure, capacity building, credit, seeds and seedlings, and market support. Additional concerns included poverty, lack of water, poor governance, health issues, weak markets, and lack of security. The conclusions call for complementing farm-level adaptations with policy support addressing systemic

This document discusses the role of universities and research institutions in controlling and managing pollutants in irrigation water through good governance. It states that while universities in developed countries play a leading role by providing data, analysis, and policy input, universities in developing countries often have little contribution and unclear roles. The document calls for (1) understanding current national governance practices, (2) learning from challenges, and (3) implementing a dynamic plan to engage universities in the sector. Good governance requires exploring innovative ideas, analyzing data, converging findings, and continuously improving policies. Priorities should include control measures, funding support, and integrating stakeholders like governments, farmers, and the private sector.

Ccafs 4 dimensions gender inequality cc slide notes

Sophia Huyer

A recent review of literature and regional case studies with researchers from four regions identified the critical dimensions of gender in/ equality in climate-resilient agriculture. They are: (1) participation in decision-making at different levels, (2) work burden, (3) access to and use of productive resources such as agroclimatic information, technology, livelihood incomes, and credit, and (4) collective action. Models for action are presented that show how gender-responsive approaches can promote equality while increasing resilience for all.

This document summarizes Melissa Leach's presentation on pathways to sustainability at Beijing Normal University. It discusses the challenges of environmental change, technological change, social and economic instability, poverty and inequity. It introduces the STEPS Centre's "pathways approach" to conceptualizing sustainability pathways that integrate ecological integrity, human wellbeing and social justice. Key points include working across disciplines, understanding knowledge politics and narratives, examining power relations and pathways, and integrating research with action through policy engagement and building networks. The focus on China highlights its role in managing change and opportunities for mutual learning around sustainability pathways.

It provides examples of IFAD/ASAP programs in Northern Uganda and Mali that aim to apply these principles to strengthen the resilience of smallholder farmers, especially women and youth.

IWRM and social equity by Humberto Pena

Global Water Partnership

This document discusses social equity in the context of integrated water resource management. It aims to flesh out the concept of social equity as it relates to water and provide a framework for analyzing equity in water management. Social equity is considered one of the three pillars of IWRM and a critical issue in water reforms. The document outlines five considerations for assessing equity: 1) focusing on people rather than water alone, 2) considering the totality of water benefits, 3) ensuring equitable processes, 4) recognizing basic needs and ethical principles, and 5) balancing social equity with economic efficiency through win-win solutions when possible. An integrated view is needed to properly evaluate social equity in relation to water management and broader social goals.

Urban design, urban growth, and urbanization can have both positive and negative consequences. Rapid urbanization strains cities' ability to provide services and can result in environmental and social changes. Sustainable development aims to meet current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. This involves compact development, mixed uses, and open spaces, as well as preserving lands, water and air quality.

Ica 2017 arctic nrm

Rahul Mitra

Presented at the International Communication Association 2017 annual conference, at San Diego, CA, May 28 In the U.S., where policy action on climate change and natural resource management (NRM) is piecemeal at best, the fragile Arctic has predictably been hampered by political wrangling and corporate lobbying. This paper examines the obstacles encountered by organizations pursuing NRM in the U.S. Arctic, and how they are able to nonetheless enact effective NRM. I adopt a stakeholder perspective, drawing from communication research on sustainable organizing to trace ongoing tensions of local/global, science/community, and social/environmental in the Arctic. The qualitative study is based on interviews with 28 actors, fieldwork in five different sites, and analysis of key texts. Findings revealed a number of structural and communicative challenges to NRM, hinging on discursive closure. However, participants identified three overarching themes of effective NRM that were being accomplished—related to decision-making, everyday communicative work, and risk management for both institutional and environmental uncertainties. Both theoretical and practical implications are considered.

CIFOR-ICRAF

This document discusses rights-based approaches and the need to move beyond gender-blind and safeguards approaches to a more gender-transformative approach. It notes that while some progress has been made in recognizing rights and gender equality, an access gap remains where not all people are able to benefit from guaranteed rights. A gender-transformative approach would put gender equity at the core, work to close access gaps for both men and women, and engage with indigenous communities as rights-holders with equal voice and influence over outcomes. Challenges to this approach include issues of political will, the time needed to understand local gender dynamics and change status quos, and determining whose rights and responsibilities should be recognized.

Concepts For Social Studies

unicornsgalore

The document outlines four key concepts in social studies: geography examines human-environment interaction and how places change over time; history studies past cultures to understand changes from conflict, economics, and social forces; economics explores how global factors influence societies' interdependence; civics concerns civic participation shaping society through governance, rights, and education.

This document discusses the need for major social change to reduce consumption and transition to a more sustainable economy and culture. It argues that small-scale initiatives alone will not be enough, and outlines four important contexts that need consideration: 1) Transitioning away from an economy dependent on private consumption and toward one focused on public investment and social spending. 2) Challenging the neoliberal ideology that has disembedded the economy from society. 3) Supporting low-income city inhabitants and balancing market forces with investments in public amenities and housing. 4) Recognizing that cultural and technological changes are intertwined with economic and institutional transformations.

Classical Environmentalism

Oluwasegun Gbadebo Fanegan

This document summarizes the limitations of applying classical environmentalism to sustainably governing cities. It discusses how classical environmentalism works best under conditions like robust economic growth and educated citizens, but faces challenges in both poor cities and wealthy cities. For poor cities, the main limitation is lack of economic feasibility and capital to invest in necessary infrastructure. For wealthy cities, the issues are lack of effective feedback on consumption impacts and difficulty regulating personal choices. The document concludes more social innovation is needed to develop alternatives to classical environmentalism for sustainable urban governance.

Romeo and Juliet

fartley8

The assembly recapped the class's study of the Tudor period and Shakespeare, then presented a modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. In the adaptation, Romeo (Robert) and Juliet (Julie) fall in love at a party, but their families hate each other. After secretly marrying, a fight between their cousins leads to deaths, and the distraught lovers commit suicide to be together forever. The performance aimed to retell the classic story in a more accessible way for the audience.

Romeo and juliet

Mike Smith

William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright considered the greatest writer in the English language. One of his most famous and popular tragedies is Romeo and Juliet, which tells the story of two young star-crossed lovers from feuding families in Verona whose untimely deaths ultimately reconcile their families. The play is believed to have been written between 1591-1595 and based on Italian tales of Romeo and Juliet that Shakespeare adapted and expanded. It remains one of Shakespeare's most performed plays today and the title characters are iconic representations of young love.
