Gender
Gender considerations play a crucial role in environmental peacebuilding M&E efforts. A gender conflict analysis can help identify the needs and priorities and understand how gender norms and behaviors interact with conflict dynamics. By leveraging the ways in which women and gender minorities interact with the environment, practitioners can design more responsive, effective, and sustainable projects and programs. It is important that gender dynamics go beyond binary male/female categories and encompass other groups such as transgender, non-heterosexual, and nonbinary people, who experience and are impacted by violent conflict differently.Integrating gender considerations into M&E can help evaluators identify if and how a program affected people differently because of their gender and understand which gender-based approaches work and under what circumstances. Including women in M&E of environmental peacebuilding is especially important given their role in natural resource management, their disproportionate impact from conflict, and their potential to play crucial roles in peace negotiations. This is particularly significant because at the local level, the knowledge and experience women may have of a particular natural resource due to their roles and responsibilities can provide a clear entry point to involve them in decision-making processes during and after the conflict. Hence, gendered forms of knowledge and social networks may contribute to creating new avenues for dialogue, trust-building and cooperation.
