Pour un Processus de Plan National d’Adaptation (PNA) qui Réponde aux Questions de Genre à Madagascar

The report analyzes the current status of Madagascar's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and identifies systemic gender inequalities that increase climate vulnerability. It highlights a lack of gender-disaggregated data and limited leadership in gender mainstreaming across sectoral ministries. The document provides a proposed harmonized definition of a gender-responsive NAP and offers specific recommendations for the National Coordination Office for Climate Change (BNCCC) and sectoral strategies in agriculture, water, health, coastal zones, biodiversity, and infrastructure to ensure equitable adaptation outcomes.

• Madagascar's NAP process is currently in the development phase, coordinated by the National Coordination Office for Climate Change (BNCCC) and supported by two committees for coordination and monitoring/evaluation active since 2017.
• Climate change impacts in Madagascar are not uniform due to gender-based differences in social status, economic roles, and access to resources, such as land ownership and decision-making power.
• Women in Madagascar face significant systemic inequalities, including a 6% representation rate in decision-making positions as of 2016 and lower literacy rates (68%) compared to men (75%).
• Gender-specific vulnerabilities are acute in water access; women are primarily responsible for household water supply, and climate-induced water scarcity increases their domestic workload and exposure to water-borne diseases.
• The integration of gender into sectoral planning is hindered by a lack of leadership, a poor understanding of the 'gender' concept among stakeholders, and a lack of gender-disaggregated data in vulnerability studies.
• The report proposes a specific gender approach for the NAP to promote equality through the recognition of differentiated needs, equitable participation in decision-making, and fair access to financial resources.
• To operationalize gender integration, the report recommends creating a gender focal unit comprising representatives from the Ministry of Population, the Ministry of Environment, sectoral ministries, and the national platform for Women, Sustainable Development and Food Security.
• Sector-specific adaptation recommendations include promoting microfinance and gender-appropriate agrometeorological information in agriculture, and ensuring women's validation of water infrastructure projects.
