- Abstract
- Peru grapples with severe water insecurity due to climate change and ecosystem degradation. In response, the government implemented the Ecosystem Services Compensation Mechanism for Water Security (MERESE), employing Payment for Ecosystem Services to incentivize nature-based solutions. Central to MERESE are Good Governance Platforms, multi-stakeholder bodies overseeing implementation and ensuring transparency. While policy mandates gender equality and women's participation in these spaces, their effectiveness in achieving these goals remains limited. This research investigates the challenges faced by Drinking Water Companies in establishing and operating GGPs, and the extent to which gender equality is integrated within these platforms.... (More)

This research investigates the challenges faced by Drinking Water Companies in establishing and operating GGPs, and the extent to which gender equality is integrated within these platforms. Employing Ostrom’s Institutional Analysis and Development framework and Ratner’s adapted model to analyze the data collected from semi-structured interviews carried out to seven key actors for the implementation of these spaces, allowed us to identify power relations and structural factors that significantly influence interactions within these platforms. Findings reveal significant institutional, regulatory, social, and administrative challenges to GGP implementation and limited progress in incorporating a gender equality perspective within these platforms.
