This gender mainstreaming guide has been designed to assist FAO technical officers, in particular officers working in forestry, to develop actions in forestry-related projects and programmes at headquarters and in all regions. An example of such an action would be to involve local women’s organizations as key stakeholders during the formation of a project or programme. This would allow the scope and focus of desired outcomes to be more representative of the women’s needs and ensure the pursuit of gender equality objectives.
