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.
