Faire progresser les processus de plans nationaux d’adaptation (PNA) prenant en compte les questions de genre état de la situation et exemples de pratiques prometteuses
Summary
The report finds that while 96% of analyzed National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) mention gender, women are predominantly framed as vulnerable groups (86%) rather than agents of change (16%). It emphasizes the need for gender-responsive processes that ensure equitable participation and outcomes, supported by institutional arrangements, funding, and intersectional analysis. The document highlights specific national examples, such as Rwanda's use of visual storytelling and Argentina's municipal-level gender-disaggregated data, to advance gender-responsive adaptation.
Key insights
- Gender is mentioned in nearly all analyzed NAP documents, with a trend toward more frequent mentions in more recent submissions. The term 'gender responsive' is now more common than 'gender sensitive'.
- Women are overwhelmingly characterized as vulnerable to climate impacts, while very few documents recognize them as active drivers of adaptation solutions.
- Most NAP documents identify other vulnerable groups beyond gender, with youth, indigenous peoples, and the elderly being the most frequently cited.
- Institutional integration of gender is moderate, with 55% of documents mentioning the involvement of the national department or ministry responsible for gender.
- Gender considerations are integrated into implementation strategies and capacity building in a majority of cases, though specific evidence of implementation is found in only 54% of documents.
- Integration of gender into Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL/SEA) systems is increasing, with 62% of documents mentioning gender in this context.
- The 'care economy' and unpaid work, which primarily affect women, are mentioned in 41% of the analyzed NAP documents.
- Intersectionality is gaining traction but remains rare in formal documents, with only four NAPs including explicit references to an intersectional approach.
- Promising practices include Rwanda's 'Envisioning Resilience' initiative using visual storytelling for policy dialogue, and Argentina's use of gender and age-disaggregated data at the municipal level in Rosario.
- Other notable national efforts include Senegal's methodological guide for sectoral adaptation planning, Côte d'Ivoire's mid-term evaluation of its national gender and climate strategy, and the Central African Republic's creation of a national platform on gender and climate change.
