« La perspective de genre » : une approche incontournable pour les activités bas carbone

The document outlines how gender-responsive approaches—identifying barriers for women and promoting their leadership—enhance the efficiency of climate-smart technologies in agriculture and aquaculture. Drawing on the GLOW programme (2021–2024), it provides evidence from Africa and Central America showing that empowering women leads to higher yields, better market access, and increased attractiveness for impact investors.

• The GLOW programme (2021–2024) conducted 12 action-research projects across 17 developing countries to explore how SMEs and producer associations can develop low-carbon technologies and innovative service models.
• Integrating gender perspectives in the aquaculture of fish and seaweed on the Kenyan coast improved project design and management by leveraging the distinct roles of men and women, where women traditionally handle processing and marketing while men focus on production and harvesting.
• In Kenya, the company Aquarech Ltd used a digital system to monitor fish production and partnered with five women's groups, which helped reduce the vulnerability of female traders to 'fish for sex' norms by providing a formal and safe way to procure fish.
• In Nicaragua, a cocoa exporter implemented a carbon footprint tracking application for smallholders and provided gender parity training for female leaders to ensure continued access to the European Union market, which requires environmental integrity proof starting in 2025.
• Solar-powered irrigation in Senegal reduced the time female horticulturists spend irrigating from 7.70 to 7.03 hours per day, increasing agricultural income by over 200,000 FCFA (335 dollars) and reducing irrigation costs by approximately 125,000 FCFA (209 dollars).
• Hydroponic farming in Rwanda, facilitated by Green Harvest through preferential loans for women, can produce up to 500 tonnes of crops per hectare while using up to 90% less water than traditional methods.
• Public investments, such as grants for solar irrigation systems provided to the Tangama Market Gardening Union in Guinea, act as catalysts for women's entrepreneurship in low-carbon agriculture.
• Gender-focused investment preparation helped eight East African SMEs supported by Intellecap raise a total of 1.8 million US dollars in funding over three years, with 71% of these SMEs attracting impact investors.
