Nature Based Climate Solutions (NbCS) are being explored in various food systems including aquaculture. Projects implementing NbCS are looking at various technological and management solutions. These may have activities that are in variance to existing practices and may need capacities and skills. Monitoring such activities is crucial for successful implementation. The gender monitoring schema proposed by the GeNA project (https://gena-project.ait.ac.th/) is a prototype process monitoring system to be used during the implementation of development projects in NbCS aquaculture to ensure that women and other marginalized groups benefit from the project. In this process, women’s roles in NbCS are documented; and any changes in gender roles and gender relations as a result of development projects is also recorded. The gender monitoring schema will consider strategies for better understanding intersectional gender concerns in context and for meaningfully engaging marginalized groups to advance gender equality, fairness, and inclusion. It will also prompt discussion on how we might monitor progress towards inclusion and equity throughout the project cycle in ways that are reflexive, ongoing, and empathetic to different actors’ needs.
