On November 28th and 29th, the city of Nacala hosted a pivotal training session under the scope of the Future Blue Project, funded by the Blue Action Fund. The event brought together a cohort of specialists, including 14 technicians from ADPP and 2 from WCS, all engaged in discussions guided by a contracted consultant.
The training had a central focus on bolstering understanding and integration of gender perspectives within the project initiatives. One of the primary goals was to empower participants in crafting and refining strategies aimed at integrating gender aspects throughout various phases of the Future Blue Project.
Throughout the two days, technicians engaged in constructive and hands-on dialogues, delving into methods to enhance the project's gender action plan. This encompassed detailed analyses, case studies, and intensive discussions to identify strengths and areas for improvement in the project's gender approach.
The consultant, bringing extensive expertise to the table, led participants through interactive exercises, providing invaluable guidance for a more effective integration of gender considerations across the project's lifecycle. The anticipation is that this training will yield more comprehensive and gender-sensitive strategies, fostering a more inclusive and equitable approach across all planned activities.
This training marks a significant stride in pursuing a more effective implementation of the Future Blue Project, aiming not only to enhance gender integration but also to cultivate a deeper awareness of the importance of gender equality in conservation and development actions supported by the WCS Mozambique.
