Guide d’Intégration du Genre dans le Processus de Plan National d’Adaptation du Sénégal

The document outlines a methodological framework for gender mainstreaming within Senegal's climate adaptation planning. It identifies specific entry points across 14 process steps—from launch to notification—and provides seven key tools, including gender analysis and gender-responsive budgeting. It highlights the disproportionate impact of climate change on women in Senegal and offers a series of national and international best practices to ensure equitable benefits from adaptation measures.

• Climate change impacts in Senegal include a temperature increase of 1.2°C between 1951 and 2010 and a decrease in precipitation of 300 mm, leading to the depletion of the Senegal and Gambia river flows by 7.8% to 15.7% in 2013.
• Senegal's NAP process, launched in 2015, targets ten priority sectors: agriculture, health, coastal zones, fisheries, land transport infrastructure, flood-focused disaster risk management, livestock, biodiversity, tourism, and water resources.
• Significant challenges to gender integration in Senegal's NAP include a lack of sex-disaggregated data, structural inequalities, limited access to land and credit for rural women, and cultural resistance to gender equality.
• The guide identifies 14 specific steps for gender integration, spanning three phases: Planning (steps 1-8), Implementation (steps 9-10), and Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (SEA) (steps 11-14).
• The document proposes seven key tools for gender mainstreaming: gender analysis, gender-responsive facilitation, multi-criteria analysis, gender equality capacity building, gender-responsive monitoring and evaluation (SEA), gender-responsive budgeting, and gender integration in adaptation projects.
• Senegal has implemented a Gender Budget Document (DBG) since 2016 to mobilize public resources for gender-sensitive climate adaptation, including funding for women's training in sustainable land management and biotechnology.
• The PNA-FEM project demonstrated the effectiveness of gender-sensitive micro-projects in Kédougou and Ziguinchor, such as introducing solar dryers for fish processing to reduce mangrove wood consumption and increasing women's income and autonomy.
