Increasing recognition of the interaction between poverty, and
resources and environmental degradation has led to interventions
that put more and more emphasis on working with local communities
to improve the management of the environment and natural resources.
Identifying and overcoming the barriers to women s, and men s, full
participation in the management of resources is a necessary first
step towards the ultimate goals of poverty alleviation and
sustainable development. Understanding the environmental roles and
responsibilities of women and men is critical to sustainable
resource management practices. The chapters in the book reflect
experiences with mainstreaming gender and women s issues in natural
resources management. The introductory paper, focusing on the
history and current status of gender and natural resources
management, is followed by five further papers presenting cases of
this approach, written by experts and practitioners from different
parts of the world. The papers examine diverse natural resources
from different perspectives, ranging from the household and
community level to national and regional policy. They examine the
security of women s rights to common property resources and land in
West Africa; mainstreaming gender in water policy and institutions
in Gujarat, India; gender-responsive planning in wetland
development in Uganda; empowering women in managing natural
resources in mountain areas of the Hundu-Kush Himalayas of
Pakistan; and the development of gender policies for environmental
ministries in Mesoamerica. The papers are complemented by an
extensive annotated bibliography, including references to books,
journals and electronic documents, and a list of relevant Web
resources. Together, these resources provide a global overview of
the work in this field. Published in association with KIT
Publishers."
