country project focuses on strengthening knowledge and
practices of targeted local communities in REDD+ processes
and sustainable forest management. In implementation since

the issue of whether, and how, DGM projects are influencing
women’s participation and leadership on the ground and
provide some indication of the extent to which the project
may be influencing broader social and gender norms at the
community or regional level. This case study provides
primary information to supplement and inform the DGM Gender

project to promoting women’s economic achievement, access to
