Introduction
Country: Philippines
Description of the Assignment:
BIOFIN recognizes the importance of gender considerations to the achievement of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the updated PBSAP and will give due consideration to the integration of gender into its work in line with the UNDP gender guidelines. UNDP will continue its efforts to promote gender equality and develop capacities contributing to the national gender equality agenda and SDG 5.
In 1995, the Gender and Development budget policy was institutionalized in the General Appropriations Act which mandates all departments, bureaus, offices and agencies to set aside 5% of their total budget for gender and development concerns. To optimize the GAD budget, BIOFIN will integrate gender responsive programs and projects including nature-based solutions into biodiversity conservation priorities of Negros Occidental province. BIOFIN will aim to increase the utilization of the GAD budget for programs that enhance gender equality and participation in nature-based solutions through capacity building activities, project development, and financial literacy, among others.
BIOFIN will aim to increase GAD budget allocation for the biodiversity sector and identify other complementary activities from other sectors such as agriculture, health and tourism by developing programs and projects aimed at involving men, women and girls in biodiversity conservation and in the implementation of nature-based solutions. This may be in the form of biodiversity-friendly enterprises, protection, resource management and trainings that may already be in the annual workplan of the provincial government.
