Gender and equity in the Protected Areas of West Africa

This aim of this guide is to elucidate the multiple dimensions of the process of taking into consideration the principle of equity in the management of West African Protected Areas: above all equity between the sexes, but also between young and old, rich and poor, etc. Based on a diagnosis carried out in several Protected Areas (Guinea, Mauritania and Senegal), this work proposes tools for managers of Protected Areas, and all those committed to an "equity policy", at various intervention levels (politico-institutional, governance, and stakeholders).
