GENDER ACTION PLAN

The Gender Action Plan for the Green Climate Finance Facility in Senegal aims to increase the participation of women and youth in climate-smart agriculture (CSA). It establishes targets for lending ratios, develops gender-inclusive credit products, and provides technical assistance to overcome barriers to finance. The plan includes a budget of €560,000 to implement gender mainstreaming, capacity building, and the monitoring of gender-disaggregated data to enhance resilience and reduce GHG emissions.

• The program targets a total direct benefit to approximately 152,266 people in Senegal, with a goal that 30-40% of these beneficiaries are women.
• The initiative aims for specific lending ratios for the dedicated Line of Credit: 30-40% for women-led MSMEs, 30% for youth-led MSMEs, and 30% for male-led MSMEs.
• The program intends to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 3.76 million tCO2e over a 20-year period.
• A total budget of €560,000 is allocated for the implementation of the Gender Action Plan, which will be drawn from the overall program cost.
• The plan includes the development of gender-specific financial tools, such as at least one woman- and one youth-dedicated credit line option and a digital loan product for each group.
• Capacity building efforts include training at least 300 women or youth-led organizations in creating bankable proposals and conducting semi-annual workshops on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (SEAH) risks.
• The program will establish a GCFF Gender Framework aligned with the GCF Gender Policy and will include a SEAH Policy Statement.
