For the PPD, as well as the GEF, the gender equity approach is a necessary requirement through the promotion of initiatives that promote greater participation of women, as well as equal benefits between women and men to achieve greater human development.
That is why it is necessary for each project to contain a gender equity component with affirmative actions in favor of the female population, in order to prevent differences and inequalities from deepening.
