Gendered Access to Forests and Small Farms in Latin America
Venue: CIAT Headquarters in Cali-Palmira, Colombia on 21-22 August 2013
Access to forestlandand land tenure for small-scale farms is most often gender biased. Women and men have different access and tenure rights which in turn impact their ability to participate in sustainable management of natural resources. Aim of this learning workshop is to share experiences and document gender disparities in access to forests, trees, and farmland for marginalized groups in Latin America.
The two-day learning workshopwill be convened by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) under the CGIAR Gender in Forests, Trees and Agroforestry Research Program. We expect to bring together a small but dynamic group of 20-30 participants from research institutes, universities, NGOs, indigenous people’s representatives, among others. We would like to provide a platform to share methods and approaches in forest land tenure research in relation to gender. This will be substantiated by your experiences on local rights related to forest governance, agrarian reforms, and indigenous territories from gender dimension. In brief the objective is to better understand the sex-disaggregated data related to tenure rights, access, participation, citizenship, representation, livelihoods among others.
Cost:The participants will cover their own travel, accommodation and other expenses such as visa, and medical insurance. The program will be free of registration cost.
