The Global Sustainable Supply Chains for Marine Commodities Project (GMC) is an interregional initiative implemented by the Ministries and Bureaus of Fisheries and Planning of Costa Rica, Ecuador, Indonesia
and the Philippines, with technical support by the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP), facilitated by Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) and funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
The GMC Project objective is to contribute to the transformation of the seafood market by mainstreaming sustainability in the value chain of important seafood commodities from developing countries, improving emerging tools such as corporate sustainable purchasing policies and Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs), driving hanges in national fisheries policy for improved fisheries administration, and generating learnings to be shared worldwide.
As part of the gender strategy developed for the GMC project, a need to formulate an easy tool that serves as a starting point for the design and revision of the project’s communication products was identified.
This practical and easy to follow guidelines tool outlines tips for how to apply a gender and inclusion lens while developing and reviewing communications materials specifically related to the GMC project. The intention is to provide basic guidance for
thinking more deeply and critically about how
gender inclusion and gender equality can be adhered into communications products and the processes to develop them.
