Gender transformative early warning systems: Peru

This research in Peru explores the interaction between gender and flood early warning systems, extracting key findings, and distilling a checklist for gender-aware, -sensitive, and -transformative early warning systems.

The authors recommend:

• All marginalised gender groups need to be provided with training and knowledge which meets their needs.
• All marginalised gender groups need to be able to access warnings directly.
• An emphasis on long-term preparedness and clear household level decision support tools may support women to be confident in taking the lead and responding.
• All marginalised gender groups need to be effectively represented in community, local government, and national level structures.
