Pour un processus de Plan National d’Adaptation qui répond aux questions de genre au Sénégal

The report analyzes the current status of gender integration in Senegal's sector-specific National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), identifying significant gaps in institutional coordination and data. It details how climate change disproportionately affects women across sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, and water resources due to existing social inequalities. The document recommends strengthening the collaboration between the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Women, establishing a gender commission within the National Committee on Climate Change (COMNACC), and implementing gender-responsive budgeting to ensure equitable access to climate finance and resources.

• Senegal's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process has seen varying levels of gender integration across sectors; while the fisheries and aquaculture sector is considered to have integrated gender transversally, sectors such as health, agriculture, and transport infrastructure are described as having 'Faiblement pris en compte' (weakly taken into account) gender issues, despite the existence of baseline studies.
• Women in the agricultural sector face systemic barriers to adaptation, including limited access to modern credit, certified seeds, and land security. Specifically, women often lack control over land, which is a 'crucial' obstacle for their participation in land rehabilitation and protection programs.
• Climate change impacts on water resources disproportionately increase the burden on women, who are responsible for 84.8% of water collection in rural areas and 72% in urban areas. Decreasing water tables and heat increase the time and physical effort required for water collection, which is primarily a female role.
• In the fisheries and aquaculture sector, the depletion of marine resources forces men to migrate or take greater risks at sea, which imposes a 'double rôle' on women, who must manage both domestic reproduction and economic production.
• Institutional gaps hinder gender-responsive climate action, notably the lack of a dedicated gender commission within the National Committee on Climate Change (COMNACC) and the fact that Gender and Equity Cells (CGE) are not systematically included in sector-specific NAP committees.
• While Senegal has a National Strategy for Equity and Gender Equality (SNEEG2) and a Gender Strategy for Environment and Sustainable Development (SGEDD), the SNEEG2 is noted for its failure to integrate climate change in most of its strategy beyond the first chapter.
• The 2020 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) mentions gender as a priority, but the report finds that gender issues do not appear explicitly in the specific adaptation objectives or the listed sector-specific adaptation options.
• Climate finance is predominantly allocated to large-scale, technologically advanced projects controlled by men, leaving women's local initiatives with little visibility and funding.
