Gender Mainstreaming in Côte d’Ivoire’s National Adaptation Plan Process from 2018 to 2023

The document details Côte d’Ivoire's efforts to integrate gender responsiveness into its climate adaptation policies from 2018 to 2023. It outlines key institutional milestones, such as the creation of the National Gender and Climate Change Platform and the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the ministries of environment and gender. The report identifies successful practices including dedicated NAP writing sessions for gender experts and the use of gender-disaggregated indicators. It concludes with recommendations to improve resource mobilization, strengthen monitoring mechanisms, and increase the involvement of women and youth in decision-making to ensure more inclusive climate adaptation.

• Between 2018 and 2023, Côte d’Ivoire executed more than 30 activities to improve gender responsiveness across policy documents, institutional setups, capacity building, and partnerships.
• Institutional progress has been driven by the Gender and Social Inclusion Unit of the National Climate Change Programme, the establishment of the National Gender and Climate Change Platform (PNGCC), and a formal agreement between the ministries responsible for gender and environmental issues.
• Gender considerations have been integrated into the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) through the inclusion of gender in the primary objective, the development of gender-sensitive indicators, and the involvement of key actors like the Ministry of Women, Family and Children (MFFE).
• Climate change issues have been incorporated into other national policy frameworks, including the National Policy on Equal Opportunity, Equity, and Gender, as well as sector-specific documents for transportation, protected areas, and forestry.
• The report identifies several good practices for gender mainstreaming, including the use of multistakeholder platforms, dedicated writing sessions for gender experts, continuous capacity building, and the implementation of gender-disaggregated data collection.
• A mid-term assessment of the National Gender and Climate Change Strategy suggests that while the strategy served as a model for other French-speaking nations, it lacked a results-oriented approach and a dedicated budget.
• To further accelerate progress, the report recommends developing a resource mobilization strategy, strengthening monitoring mechanisms, and fostering awareness among leaders regarding harmful social norms and gender inequalities.
