Marajó Resiliente: Enhancing the resilience of smallholders to climate change impacts through adapting and scaling up diversified agroforestry systems in the Marajo Archipelago of Brazil

The Gender Action Plan for the 'Marajó Resiliente' project establishes a framework to integrate gender and racial equality into the scaling of diversified agroforestry systems (DAS) in the Marajo Archipelago. A gender-responsive budget of USD 4,666,157 (47% of the total budget) is allocated to support these goals. The plan includes the creation of a Local Advisory Committee with dedicated 'Gender' and 'Quilombola' Situation Rooms to monitor issues and improve strategies. Key targets include ensuring at least 50% of beneficiaries for DAS implementation and technical assistance are women, and at least 30% are Quilombola, particularly in Salvaterra. The plan also focuses on strengthening women-led associations to access markets and providing financial management training and a Reserve Fund for Community Access to Credit to reduce barriers for vulnerable smallholders.

• The project allocates a gender-responsive budget of USD 4,666,157, which represents 47% of the total project budget of USD 9,888,923.
• To monitor and evaluate gender and indigenous issues, the project's Local Advisory Committee (LAC) will feature a Gender Situation Room and a Quilombola Situation Room.
• The project aims for at least 50% of beneficiaries selected for the implementation of climate resilient Diversified Agroforestry Systems (DAS) and those receiving technical assistance to be women, with a 30% target for Quilombola people.
• Specific targets are set for the leadership of agroforestry sites, aiming for at least 30% of community disseminators and leaders of demonstration sites to be women, acknowledging a cultural context where men typically lead these sites.
• The plan targets the creation of one gender-responsive local policy instrument in each of the three municipalities to foster DAS as a climate adaptation solution.
• Market access initiatives specifically target women-led associations, aiming for at least two such associations to receive technical support and establish collaboration agreements with market partners.
• The project will implement a Reserve Fund for Community Access to Credit to help vulnerable smallholders, particularly women and Quilombola communities, meet requirements for PRONAF financial products.
