Gender and Climate Change Action Plan of the Republic of Haiti

The Gender and Climate Change Action Plan of the Republic of Haiti outlines a framework to integrate gender-responsive institutional arrangements and projects into national climate adaptation. It identifies four priority areas: capacity building, awareness raising, gender-sensitive budgeting, and the establishment of a monitoring and evaluation framework. The plan includes 11 priority activities, with six categorized as imperative, and estimates a total funding requirement of USD 1,650,000 for 2025–2030.

• The action plan is designed to operationalize two primary goals of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP): implementing large-scale gender-sensitive programs to increase resilience in priority sectors and strengthening the human capital of women and girls for adaptation planning at vulnerable local and regional levels.
• The plan identifies four priority areas for action: knowledge management and capacity building for a gender-responsive NAP process, awareness raising and communication, gender-sensitive budgeting, and the creation of a monitoring, evaluation, and learning framework.
• Six activities are classified as 'imperative tasks' of utmost priority: developing a training program on gender mainstreaming, training gender focal points and Ministerial Gender Units (MGUs), implementing an awareness-raising program, mobilizing gender-sensitive funding, introducing gender-sensitive budget lines at national and local levels, and integrating gender-sensitive indicators into the NAP monitoring framework.
• In the agricultural sector, significant gender inequalities exist regarding land tenure; only 9% of women have full ownership of property, and 20% have joint ownership.
• Women in Haiti bear a disproportionate burden in water resource management, as the responsibility for supplying domestic water, particularly in rural and precarious urban areas, falls primarily on women and children.
• Haiti's health sector faces extreme challenges, with the pregnancy-related mortality ratio reaching 646 per 100,000 during 2009–2017, the highest rate in the Western hemisphere.
• The total funding required to implement the Gender and Climate Change Action Plan for the 2025–2030 period is estimated at USD 1,650,000.
• Implementation of the plan will rely on a mix of internal national budget funding and external financing from multilateral climate funds such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), Climate Investment Funds (CIFs), and the Adaptation Fund.
