Abstract
Since 2015, the Dedicated Grant
Mechanism for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (DGM)
has provided a unique model for inclusive and bottom-up
approaches to delivering climate finance for sustainable
forest management. Through 12 country-level programs
designed and implemented by Indigenous Peoples and Local
Communities (IPLCs), the DGM is guiding investment of around
$80 million and impacting the livelihoods of over 200,000
people. DGM supported activities are intended to be designed
and implemented in a gender-responsive and socially
inclusive manner and aim to improve key gender equality
outcomes based on the particular and varied contexts of DGM countries.
