Gender mainstreaming is a necessary process in all development projects. More specifically, gender mainstreaming is a fundamental part of climate change action solutions and sustainable development initiatives.<\/p>\n

The MINARET project strives to be in line with the strategies of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 5: Gender Equality) in order to assure that gender mainstreaming is done according to the global sustainable goals for gender equality while simultaneously tackling the issue of climate change action.<\/p>\n

The activities of MINARET project have been designed to have a gender perspective that considers the different realities and needs of men and women equally. More specifically, a gender assessment was conducted in each of the project countries in order to have actual information regarding the local municipalities\u2019 knowledge on gender and development, the gender roles and expectations of each country specially involving the use of energy and water, as well as the existing laws that mention gender and gender equality.<\/p>\n
