ACTING ON THE GENDER ACTION PLAN (GAP)

The document provides a framework for integrating gender considerations into National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes through five actions: getting informed via gender analysis, committing to strategic entry points, connecting gender and adaptation actors, assessing impacts using sex-disaggregated data, and reflecting to improve results. It notes that while most NAP documents mention gender, there is a lack of detailed analysis on gender differences and specific implementation plans for adaptation action.

• To achieve gender-responsive National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes, the document recommends five key actions: applying gender analysis to avoid generalizations, committing to strategic entry points for integration, leveraging existing gender policies and networks, using sex-disaggregated data to assess differentiated impacts on women, men, and marginalized groups, and iteratively adjusting the process to improve gender equality and women's empowerment.
• An analysis of 13 NAP documents available on NAP Central as of late March 2019 shows that while 12 mention gender and 9 categorize women as particularly vulnerable to climate change, only 6 refer to gender equality or equity, and only 5 identify women as agents of change in adaptation.
• Despite efforts to include gender in NAP documents, there is a deficiency in the depth of analysis regarding how gender differences influence climate vulnerability and a lack of detail on how these considerations will be operationalized in adaptation actions.
