Pour un processus de Plan National d’Adaptation (PNA) qui réponde aux questions de genre en Guinée
Summary
The report assesses the current state of Guinea's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and identifies significant gender inequalities that exacerbate climate vulnerability. It highlights a lack of explicit links between gender planning and climate adaptation in national policies and recommends institutional reforms, capacity building, and the use of sex-disaggregated data to ensure adaptation measures are equitable and effective.
Key insights
- Guinea is in the initial phase of its NAP process, launched in 2016, but the implementation of its roadmap has been stalled due to a lack of financial resources, leading to a 'NAP Readiness' request to the Green Climate Fund in August 2019.
- Climate change impacts in Guinea include rising average temperatures, decreased annual precipitation (especially in the north-west and north-east), and a projected sea-level rise of approximately 80 cm by 2100.
- Women in Guinea are more vulnerable to climate impacts due to systemic gender inequalities, including limited access to resources, lower social status, and restricted participation in decision-making.
- Gender inequalities are acute in Guinea, with 92% of women aged 15-49 experiencing violence and 98.4% of women and girls affected by female genital mutilation (specifically excision).
- Climate change disproportionately affects women's health and labor because they are primarily responsible for collecting water and firewood; polluted water increases their risk of waterborne diseases, and resource scarcity increases their daily workload.
- In the mining sector, women are highly vulnerable as they often work informally and lack control over resources or compensation for land loss, despite making up 40% of artisanal miners.
- There is a critical gap between gender planning and climate adaptation; most national climate documents, including the NDC, rarely mention gender and provide no specific adaptation measures for women.
- The Revised National Gender Policy (PNGR) fails to address climate change adaptation and neglects Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13, despite acknowledging that women are more affected by climate change.
- Institutional coordination for climate change is hindered by a multiplicity of overlapping structures and a severe lack of operational capacity, funding, and qualified human resources.
- Gender and Equity services exist in most ministries, but their operationality varies wildly; for example, the Ministry of Mines is dynamic, while the Ministry of Agriculture's service lacks a team, office, and budget.
