No results found.The report describes the first Sub-regional Training Course on Women and Wood Energy Development, which was organized by RWEDP for member countries from the South Asian region. The training course was a follow-up of the Regional Expert Consultation on Gender and Wood Energy in Asia, held in Chang Mai, Thailand (see Report No. 22). The main subjects, all in relation to wood energy development, in the training course were: Personal awareness of gender, like perceptions about questions of gend er and development; Placing gender, i.e. understanding different possible approaches to issues of women and development, which have different implications for kinds of interventions that are selected; Gender analysis tools, i.e. step by step methods and procedures with respect to planning, assessing project proposals, etc. to check probable impacts on men and women; Adapting existing checklists, like how to adapt checklists to local circumstances; Gender analysis field to ols, i.e. tools and procedures that are useful in the fundamental redesign of projects from gender principles. Some 20 higher and middle level staff from institutions and departments concerned with wood energy planning, policies and strategies, from the forestry sector, the energy sector and NGO's, involved in the implementation of projects and programmes, participated in the training course. During the training various methods and tools such as case studies, exercises, discussions, audiovisu al materials, role playing, etc. were introduced. Using these methods and tools, all described in the report, the participants learned through a "hands on" approach how and when to use such "interventions". The report stresses that, although there are common notions about gender and development, invariably differences are found within regions and countries and that a "standard" approach may have to be adapted to suit local situations. -

No results found.The end of the second phase of RWEDP was considered to be an opportune time to reflect on the progress made in our understanding of wood energy issues in RWEDP's member countries and on possible issues to be addressed in a follow-up project. Thus, from 22 February to 3 March 1993, two consecutive regional meetings were conducted in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The first one, aimed at planners from RWEDP member countries, was an "Expert Consultation on Data Analysis and Assessment for Wood Energy P lanning" while the second one, aimed at policy makers, was a "Seminar on Policy Instruments for the Implementation of Wood Energy Development Programmes". 36 participants came from the member countries to the two meetings, and a total of 29 papers by 23 resource persons were presented. -

No results found.Gender issues refer to the role and position of women, but also to other groups in society like children and elderly people. Such groups often face specific problems with respect to the production and use of woodfuels. However, gender considerations have still not been institutionalised in the overall planning and general policy making for wood energy. RWEDP has taken up this challenge together with its members. At the Expert Consultation on "Gender and Wood Energy in Asia" in Chiang Mai, June 1995, policy makers of member countries reviewed relevant gender analysis tools. It was probably the first time high-level policy makers from both the forestry and the energy sectors have jointly discussed gender issues. They also discussed how to institutionalise a gender approach in their respective organisations. The consultations went beyond simply raising awareness, as they focused on how gender issues can be operationalised with respect to wood energy development. The delegates adopte d a highly professional approach which aimed at increasing the effectiveness of interventions and policies in wood energy development. As such, they went a few steps further than re-iterating popular statements on gender gaps. The meeting provided a conceptual framework to assist in the process of integrating gender issues into wood energy policies. It also addressed the task of training staff from the forestry and wood energy sectors.
