Plan d’action genre et adaptation aux changements climatiques de la république d’Haïti
Summary
The Republic of Haiti's Gender and Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan aims to operationalize gender equality within its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) by 2030. The plan identifies four priority areas: knowledge management and capacity building, awareness and communication, gender-responsive budgeting, and a monitoring, evaluation, and learning framework. It outlines 11 priority activities, including training for gender focal points and the introduction of gender-sensitive budget lines. The total estimated cost for implementation from 2025 to 2030 is $1,650,000 USD, to be funded through national budgets and international climate funds such as the Green Climate Fund and the Adaptation Fund.
Key insights
- The action plan is designed to operationalize two specific goals of Haiti's National Adaptation Plan (NAP): implementing gender-sensitive programs to increase resilience in priority sectors and strengthening the human capital of women and girls for adaptation planning in the most vulnerable local governments.
- The plan identifies four priority areas of action: knowledge management and capacity building, awareness and communication, gender-responsive budgeting, and the establishment of a monitoring, evaluation, and learning framework for gender integration in the NAP.
- Of the 11 priority activities, six are classified as 'imperative' (Must have), including developing training programs for sectoral adaptation policies, training gender focal points, implementing awareness programs, creating a gender-sensitive funding mobilization plan, introducing gender budget lines at national and communal levels, and integrating gender-sensitive indicators into the NAP monitoring framework.
- Gender inequalities in Haiti's priority sectors are significant: in agriculture, only 9% of women are owners of land or houses, and they have limited access to credit; in water resources, women and children bear the primary burden of domestic water supply; and in health, Haiti has the highest maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere.
- The plan's implementation is led by the National Gender and Climate Change Focal Point (PFNGCC) within the Ministry of Environment (MDE), in coordination with the Climate Change Directorate (DCC), the Gender and Climate Working Group, and the Ministry for Women's Affairs and Women's Rights (MCFDF).
