The report assesses gender-based inequalities in Rwanda's Congo Nile Divide to inform a GCF project on forest and landscape restoration. It identifies that while Rwanda has progressive national gender laws, rural areas remain dominated by patriarchal norms that limit women's access to land, credit, and decision-making. The document outlines a strategy to empower women and youth through social behavior change communications, financial autonomy, and technical skills in agroforestry and beekeeping to enhance climate resilience.

The report identifies that poor Tarai and Hill Dalits, along with marginalized indigenous peoples, are the most vulnerable to climate-induced disasters in Nepal. It highlights a critical lack of GEDSI-disaggregated data for GLOFs and notes that women suffer from 'time poverty' due to increased household workloads caused by climate change. Institutional findings reveal that local planning is often dominated by political power, sidelining marginalized groups and rendering women's leadership roles largely tokenistic. The report recommends establishing intersectional stakeholder definitions, promoting women-friendly climate technologies, and integrating mandatory GESI quotas into project activities.
