The objective of this work is to highlight the actions, results and lessons learned during the eight years of implementation of the BASAL project in its intervention sites focused on reducing gender gaps. The actions were aimed at making visible the role of women in the agricultural sector, creating a group of measures with a gender focus for adaptation to climate change, while promoting local food sustainability. Among the experiences obtained by the project, it stands out that, to contribute to the reduction of gender gaps, the use of communication and the incorporation of the gender approach in the tools used are vital. The BASAL project, a leader in the implementation of the gender approach in adaptation measures to climate change in the agricultural sector, achieved as a final product a more sustainable agriculture with equality between men and women. Their experiences and tools contribute to other projects, institutions and territories, a series of legacies for adaptation to climate change with a gender perspective, which allows an opportunity to enrich and complement the achievement of sustainable development.
