| Summary: | The DGM Indonesia (DGM-I) country
project focuses on improving clarity and security of land
rights for Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs),
as well as improving livelihood opportunities from
sustainable forests and land. In implementation since March
2017, with 63 subprojects either in implementation or
completed, there are ample opportunities for detailed
examination of a particular DGM-I subproject. This can offer
insight into whether and how DGM projects are influencing
women’s participation and leadership on the ground, and can
also provide an indication of the extent to which the
project may be influencing broader social and gender norms
in Indonesia. In turn, this case study informs the wider
line of inquiry of the World Bank DGM & REDD+ Gender
Study, which follows a conceptual framework of gender
transformative change to analyze the contribution the DGM-I
project is making to women's economic achievement,
access to and control over productive assets, voice, and
agency that support positive changes in women’s leadership
and meaningful participation. The conceptual framework for
this study follows a stepwise, yet flexible and dynamic,
progression toward gender transformative change. The
framework begins by assessing the inputs that the DGM
project provides to beneficiaries, such as assets,
information, skills, and capacity building. This assessment
looks at what types of inputs are provided, as well as to
whom and how they are provided. Next, we assess through the
framework how those inputs have influenced women’s income
and assets, and building on that, how women are gaining
voice and agency. Next, we assess whether and how those
changes in voice and agency are influencing gender norms,
attitudes, and perceptions of women and men at multiple
levels, from individual to household to community. Finally,
we look at whether those shifts have the potential to be
sustained beyond the lifetime of the project and influence
more formal practices, rules, policies, and laws that treat
women in an unequal way. |
