Women Pro-Forests: Climate Change Adaptation in the Moyen-Bafing National Park
Proportion of the area of the contribution comprising Key Biodiversity Areas: 79.2%
Women Pro-Forests by UPA Développement international The Women Pro-Forests: Climate Change Adaptation in the Moyen-Bafing National Park (Guinea) project is the result of a partnership between the Union des producteurs agricoles - Développement international and the Canada Research Chair in Ecological Economics of the University of Quebec in the Outaouais. It is also supported by the Guinean Office of Parks and Reserves, Habitat, WASCAL, Equitas and CONAG-DCF. The project aims to improve the adaptation to climate change of women, young women and their families in the Moyen-Bafing National Park. Achieving this goal depends on the increased adoption of nature-based solutions that support biodiversity for the benefit of women and young women. This project aims to sustainably improve the economic opportunities of beneficiaries from nature-based agroforestry solutions that are climate-smart and respectful of forest biodiversity. It also seeks to improve the inclusive and equitable governance of forest biodiversity to support the adaptation to climate change of women, young vulnerable women and their families. The activities of this project include: (1) supporting community programs for the reforestation of forest corridors and habitats (key biodiversity areas of the action plan of the Moyen-Bafing National Park); (2) supporting civil society organizations and economic interest groups to support services to overcome the barriers to adaptation to climate change linked to unpaid care work; and (3) implementing a training program on feminist climate justice and women’s environmental rights with women and young women, particularly those from civil society organizations, unions and economic interest groups. This project aims to reach 5,000 direct beneficiaries, including 3,500 (70%) women. It plans to reach 800,000 indirect beneficiaries by transferring expertise to central institutions and supporting national advocacy and awareness campaigns. The Malinke and Fulani ethnic groups represent the vast majority of the target populations. Particular attention will also be paid to the fair distribution of the advantages and direct benefits of this project to people from ethnic or marginalized minorities. https://w05.international.gc.ca/projectbrowser-banqueprojets/project-projet/details/p011923001
