| Description | Wiens. P. The gendered nature of local institutional arrangements for natural resources management. A critical knowledge gap for promoting equitable and sustainable natural resources management in Latin America. IDRC.This paper fleshes out some tentative conclusions about the state of research on gender and natural resource management (NRM) in Latin America. These conclusions are drawn from a review of available literature on the subject and from interviews with gender and NRM scholars working in the field. A critical gap in ongoing research activity about gender and NRM in various contexts in Latin America was found to be the lack of research examining the gendered nature of local institutional arrangements for community-based NRM. The paper concentrates on developing this theme and argues for its importance, given the critical significance of such knowledge for informing appropriate interventions intended to contribute to equitable and sustainable NRM in Latin America. The paper has been written to provide guidance to IDRC’s MINGA Program Initiative, as relates to the team’s search for appropriate research strategies for strengthening gender equity as it pertains to NRM in the region. |
