Pour un processus de Plan National d’Adaptation qui répond aux questions genre en République Centrafricaine (RCA)

The report examines the intersection of gender inequality and climate change in the Central African Republic, highlighting how socio-cultural norms, poverty, and conflict exacerbate the vulnerability of women. It assesses the current status of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and the national institutional framework for gender equality, finding significant gaps in women's access to land, decision-making roles, and education. The document concludes with specific recommendations for 'enabling activities'—such as improving sex-disaggregated data collection and strengthening institutional coordination—and 'operational priorities' across the agriculture, livestock, water resources, and education sectors to ensure climate adaptation is gender-responsive.

• Gender inequalities in the Central African Republic are deeply rooted in social and cultural customs and are further intensified by poverty, political crises, and armed conflicts.
• Women face severe systemic barriers to land ownership due to the primacy of customary law over formal land law, which privileges men in inheritance and land allocation.
• Despite providing a majority of the agricultural labor force (81%), women suffer from the 'feminization of poverty' in agriculture due to limited access to land, production factors, and decision-making power.
• There is a significant gender gap in education and literacy; as of 2018-2019, the illiteracy rate for women was 75.1% compared to 52.6% for men.
• Women are severely underrepresented in government and public administration decision-making roles, with only 5 women ministers out of 39 and only 0.9% of all public service agents in decision-making positions being women.
• The report identifies a critical lack of updated, sex-disaggregated data, which hinders the government's ability to plan, monitor, and evaluate development and adaptation efforts.
• In the water resources sector, community water management committees are predominantly male, despite women being the primary providers and users of water in daily life.
