Monitoring gender, poverty and social equity in natural resource management : best practice resources and annotated bibliography

This document consists of Volume 1, a detailed discussion of some of the available resources on natural resource management concerning the monitoring of gender, poverty, and social equality issues that can be considered best resources or best practices, and Volume 2,  an annotated bibliography of the 56 resources these best practices were selected from. This document is intended as a reference guide for the learning group formed in 2003 by IUCN and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) to facilitate the process of learning and sharing among organizations and practitioners, as well as for other who manage natural resource management programs and projects. It is hoped that the document will also contribute towards the development of a common monitoring system among all stakeholders in order to better understand the collective results of natural resource management in Nepal.
