SIDE EVENT ID: 5740
WHAT
A 1.5 hours side event that will launch the indicator methodology on the national implementation of the Gender Plan of Action. It will provide information on the process of co-development and peer review. Parties and members of the AHTEG on Indicators who have actively contributed towards the development and testing of the methodology will provide their reflections on the methodology and its use for tracking progress towards Target 23.
UNEP-WCMC and Women4Biodiversity, with funding provided by SwedBio, have supported the co-development of the indicator methodology on the national implementation of the Gender Plan of Action. The methodology focuses on tracking progress towards the 18 indicative actions for which Parties are the named lead responsible actors. The methodology includes a set of questions (with multiple-choice answers), which are then summarised into an index score. This indicator will help Parties to track progress towards the national implementation of the Gender Plan of Action and Target 23 of the KM-GBF.
This side event will be co-hosted by Women4Biodiversity and UNEP-WCMC with support from Swedbio.
