Pour un Processus de Plan National d’Adaptation (PNA) qui Réponde aux Questions de Genre en Côte d’Ivoire

The report examines the intersection of gender inequality and climate vulnerability in Côte d’Ivoire, providing a framework to integrate gender-responsive strategies into the National Adaptation Plan (NAP). It identifies systemic barriers—such as limited land rights for women, economic disparities in agriculture, and institutional gaps in gender monitoring—that amplify climate risks. The document offers detailed recommendations for the NAP process, including the creation of gender-specific indicators, the involvement of the National Observatory for Equity and Gender (ONEG), and sector-specific interventions in agriculture, water access, land use, health, and coastal zones to ensure that adaptation measures do not exacerbate existing inequalities.

• Climate change in Côte d’Ivoire is projected to cause a 2°C average temperature increase, greater rainfall variability, and a 30 cm sea-level rise by 2050, leading to reduced water resources, delayed agricultural seasons, and increased coastal erosion.
• Gender inequalities significantly amplify climate vulnerability; for example, women are more exposed to water-borne and vector-borne diseases due to their domestic roles in water supply and household hygiene.
• Women face severe disparities in land ownership, with only 8% of women holding a land title or sale certificate compared to 22% of men, which limits their ability to diversify crops or implement adaptation strategies.
• Economic disparities are stark in the labor market: 90% of active women work in small, informal, and low-productivity enterprises, and they earn an average of 125 dollars per month compared to 240 dollars for men.
• Institutional capacity to integrate gender into public policy is weak; gender cells in most ministries have disappeared, and there is a lack of qualified personnel and budgets to monitor equity in government entities.
• The NAP process is coordinated by the National Climate Change Program (PNCC) and focuses initially on five vulnerable sectors: agriculture, water access, land use, coastal zones, and health.
• The report recommends that the National Observatory for Equity and Gender (ONEG) be given a central role in the NAP technical committee to ensure the integration of gender indicators and monitoring mechanisms.
• In the agricultural sector, providing women with equal access to productive resources could increase agricultural production by 2.5% to 4% in developing countries, and by 20% in Africa if they receive the same support as men.
• Adaptation in coastal zones must address the fact that two-thirds of the Ivorian coastline is affected by erosion, exacerbated by both human pressure and climate change.
