CA-3-P013893001 2026-10-09T04:02:57 The project focuses on conducting research and delivering capacity-building programmes to ethnic minority women and communities to support their adoption of nature-based solutions (NBS) to enhance biodiversity conservation. It intends to provide technical support to cooperatives, enterprises, women’s organizations to strengthen ethnic minority women’s access to financial services and trainings that promote biodiversity-friendly and climate-resilient agricultural practice in forest buffer zones. This project aims to: (a) strengthen the conservation of high value forests in Ha Giang and Dak Lak provinces; (b) promote sustainability of the use of biodiversity in the buffer zones of these forests via climate-smart agricultural production; and (c) improve the capacities of public and private actors in developing and implementing biodiversity policies. Project activities include: (1) defining and supporting the adoption of nature-based solutions to improve agriculture and forestry production and climate-resilient agricultural practice in forest buffer zones by ethnic minority women and local communities; (2) providing gender-sensitive technical assistance to forest protection committees and community-based conservation groups; (3) providing a training program on sustainable business management for ethnic minority women entrepreneurs and cooperatives to strengthen ethnic minority women’s access to financial services; and (4) implementing awareness raising and training on gender equality and positive masculinity to increase women’s participation in biodiversity decision-making process.
