Some Key Findings

Participation rate:

  • Men played larger role in decision-making on

compensation and livelihood restoration strategies.

  • Women sometimes co-signed compensation

documents but not always. Hydro-induced impacts:

  • Women faced greater economic challenges and

health impacts (physical and mental) due to gender division of labour and roles.

Principles

  • Participatory & safe
  • Most marginalized
  • Rights-based

Example: Step 1, Baseline info

*Best practice would be to include a third column in the Access and Control profile for gender-diverse or gender-non-conforming groups

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Mobile App…

  • Baseline data (Step 1)
  • Gender-disaggregated data

  • Hydropower & extractive

industries
