Upscaling Ecosystem Based Climate Resilience of Vulnerable Rural Communities in the Valles Macro-region of the Plurinational State of Bolivia (RECEM-Valles)

The Gender Action Plan for the RECEM-Valles project in Bolivia's Valles Macro-region focuses on closing gender gaps through mainstreaming and transformative actions. It targets a minimum of 30% female participation among beneficiaries and productive associations, with specific goals to empower women-led households in climate-resilient agriculture, water management, and financial access. The plan includes the recruitment of a Gender Specialist and a specialist in masculinities to promote co-responsibility in care work and dismantle patriarchy. Key targets include reducing the time women-led households spend on irrigation by 20% through improved water-harvesting systems and ensuring women's leadership in territorial consultative platforms and municipal decision-making processes.

• The project aims to ensure that at least 30% of its beneficiaries are women, utilizing positive affirmation criteria and empowerment strategies if necessary to achieve this target.
• To support the implementation of the Gender Action Plan, the project will recruit a full-time Gender Specialist and a specialist in masculinities to promote co-responsibility for care work within families.
• The project targets a 20% reduction in the daily time women-led households spend irrigating their land through the implementation of optimized water-harvesting and climate-proofed irrigation systems.
• The project will prioritize women-led productive associations—defined as those formed only by women or mixed associations with boards composed of 50% women—for technical assistance, training, and organic certification.
• The plan includes specific targets for women's participation in governance and finance, including a goal for at least 5 women (including at least one youth under 32) to be involved in municipal decision-making for territorial planning instruments (PTDIs) in at least 20 of 65 municipalities.
• The project intends to increase the resilience of 58,000 vulnerable smallholder farmers in the Valles Macro-region, of whom approximately 50% are adult women.
