Women and Men Working Together in Natural Resource Management

Women and Men Working Together in Natural Resource Management: A Facilitator’s Manual to Gender Inclusive Natural Resource Management educates the community about gender concepts and how they influence Natural Resource Management (NRM) in the Solomon Islands.

This manual explores:

1. The roles and responsibilities of men and women in the management of natural resources.
2. How the benefits of natural resources are distributed between men and women.
3. How natural resource issues affect men and women differently.
4. The advantages of having gender inclusive decision making and management of natural resources.

This manual encourages participants to reflect on their current attitudes and perceptions of gender, decision making and NRM, and explore new paradigms of practise. This manual aims to create space for women and men to work together to achieve sustainable NRM – Tugeda, tude fo tumoro.
