The report assesses gender disparities in Jamaica's agricultural sector, specifically within six target parishes, to inform the ADAPT Jamaica project. It identifies structural barriers for women, youth, and persons with disabilities, including limited land tenure and credit access. The document proposes a Gender Action Plan featuring labour-saving technologies, gender-responsive budgeting, and a survivor-centric Grievance Redress Mechanism to mitigate risks of sexual exploitation and abuse.

The report identifies systemic gender inequalities in Armenia that amplify climate vulnerability, particularly for rural women who face limited access to land, financial resources, and early warning information. It establishes a Gender Action Plan to ensure inclusive participation in disaster risk management, gender-responsive communication strategies, and the mitigation of gender-based violence risks during climate-related emergencies.

The document assesses gender dynamics, legal frameworks, and socioeconomic baselines in Palau, FSM, and RMI to ensure that ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) interventions are gender-responsive. It identifies significant gaps in sex-disaggregated data and highlights high rates of gender-based violence across the region. The report proposes a Small Grants Facility (SGF) with specific gender screening tools and quotas to ensure women's equitable access to finance, decision-making, and technical training. It emphasizes the value of traditional knowledge held by women in managing coastal and terrestrial resources to build climate resilience.

The document assesses gender-based barriers to water security in Vanuatu, highlighting how patriarchal norms, high rates of gender-based violence, and 'time poverty' disproportionately affect women and girls. It proposes a gender-transformative approach to climate-resilient WASH by mandating 40% female representation in Rural Water Committees and designing infrastructure that addresses specific needs of women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. The report also establishes a multi-level Grievance Redress Mechanism to handle issues of sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment.

The report assesses the gender-specific vulnerabilities and socioeconomic barriers facing rural communities in central and north Benin to ensure the 'Enhanced Climate Resilience' project is gender-responsive. It identifies significant gaps in land ownership, education, and decision-making power between men and women, noting that women are more susceptible to economic shocks and 'time poverty'. The assessment proposes a Gender Action Plan to mainstream gender equality into forest management and agricultural interventions, aiming to prevent the marginalization of women as EbA strategies are implemented.
