Incorporating Gender Dimensions into National Strategy Setting in Chemicals Management for Minamata Convention National Action Plans for Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining and Stockholm Convention National Implementation Plans
Description
The guide summarizes and provides a overview of the key issues and provides recommendations for incorporating gender dimensions into National Action Plans (NAP) for artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), and National Implementations Plans (NIP) for Stockholm Convention. The present guidelines on mainstreaming gender into the management of chemicals and waste in general and POPs and mercury in particular, will provide useful insights, extract lessons learned and share good practices towards shaping a new generation of gender-smart NIPs and NAPs. Doing so, will also increase awareness within societies and communities, and increase the political buy-in among decision-makers while providing a set of practical tools to support countries in their efforts to mainstream gender considerations into the sound disposal and management of chemicals and waste.
