Stratégie Nationale Genre et Changements Climatiques de La République Centrafricaine 2023-2030

The National Gender and Climate Change Strategy (SNGCC) of the Central African Republic (2023–2030) aims to institutionalize a gender and social inclusion approach across all climate actions. It identifies agriculture and water resources as the most vulnerable sectors and outlines five strategic axes: governance and financing, sector-specific actions, capacity building, communication, and the empowerment of women and vulnerable groups. The strategy includes a detailed action plan with 31 priority activities for 2023–2026, budgeted at 351 million FCFA (approximately 575,000 USD), to be co-managed by the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and the Ministry for the Promotion of Gender.

• The Central African Republic faces severe gender inequalities, ranking as the 4th most unequal country globally in 2019 with a Gender Inequality Index of 0.680.
• Climate change impacts in CAR exacerbate existing gender inequalities and limit the capacity to respond to climate effects, with rural women being particularly exposed due to their direct reliance on nature.
• Agriculture and water resources have been identified as the most vulnerable sectors requiring priority gender-responsive actions for adaptation and mitigation.
• The strategy is organized around five strategic axes: governance and climate finance, sector-specific actions, capacity building and knowledge transfer, information and communication, and the empowerment and leadership of women and vulnerable groups.
• A priority action plan for 2023–2026 consists of 31 activities with a total estimated budget of 351,000,000 FCFA (approximately 575,000 USD).
• Key institutional weaknesses include the absence of a clear national definition of the gender approach, a lack of sex-disaggregated data on climate impacts, and insufficient experts in the intersection of gender and climate change.
• The strategy promotes an 'Equality of Gender and Social Inclusion' (EGIS) approach to address intersecting vulnerabilities related to poverty, age, ethnicity, disability, and religion.
• The strategy aims to increase women's leadership and participation in climate decision-making, noting that they are currently underrepresented despite being active agents of change.
