The role and relevance of gender in effectively realizing the objectives of the EU funded ACP MEAs 3 project is an important consideration while implementing the project activities by various partners in the project. Realizing the need for promoting a common understanding of addressing gender specific issues and roles to come up with an impactful deliver of the project, the present ‘Operational Note’ has been developed in consultation with gender experts both within UNEP and outside, including the project partners. Launched on 8th March 2021 to commemorate the International Women’s Day, this Note is intended to provide guidance to project partners and their collaborators on using specific gender considerations within the objectives and provisions of the ACP MEAs 3 project.
