Room 214, Shaw Centre
NRGI COO Suneeta Kaimal takes the stage at 13:20.
Through the experiences shared by women and men from resource rich countries, including Senegal and Dominican Republic, this session will explore five challenges at the intersection between women's rights and natural resource governance. Based on the lived experiences shared, and drawing on practitioner and academic research, the session aimed to put forward tangible proposals for gender transformative model national action plan (NAP) commitments to promote women’s meaningful participation in natural resource governance by: bridging the women’s rights and transparency movements; addressing negative impacts of the extractive sector on women through responsive local decision-making; ensuring that data is accessible and relevant to a diverse set of stakeholders, including women in extractive communities; and promoting resource allocation approaches that include, and would benefit, women.
3:10 p.m.-4:30 p.m.
Room 207, Shaw Centre
The session aimed to increase understanding by a range of stakeholders of structural and behavioral barriers to, and opportunities to enhance, inclusive participation in governance initiatives; and a shared strategy among reformers in open government about how to instigate reform to advance gender justice through the natural resource governance sector via OGP NAP commitments. This session would be relevant to government decision-makers and senior industry representatives, as well as academics, journalists, civil society activists and policy makers.
