Indigenous Women and Benefit Sharing in ERPs - Implementation Research.pdf
The ERP projects and activities mentioned in the reports are largely geared towards forest conservation, such as tree planting, nursery, apiary, and the like. Projects that address women’s practical needs include those that relate to food security, such as goat dispersal, sanitation projects, seedling dispersal, school buildings for their children’s education, among others.

Indigenous Women respondents have expressed their yearning to be trained to enable them to effectively participate in decision making structures and processes — a strategic gender need.
