This project is a part of a multi-donor, global initiative that aims to reduce vulnerability to climate change for women and men, by improving the quality and integration of gender equality into national adaptation planning and action (a process that facilitates the integration of climate change adaptation into relevant new and existing policies) in developing countries. Projects activities include: (1) providing long and short-term in-country technical assistance; (2) facilitating peer-learning events between government policy-makers; and (3) developing and disseminating knowledge development and policy analysis. The project also works to improve the capacity of government actors and other stakeholders, particularly in small island developing states and in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Results achieved as of March 2022 include: (1) five Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries (Central African Republic, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya) and two Small Island Developing States (SIDS) (Dominican Republic, Republic of the Marshall Islands) showing evidence of gender-responsiveness in their NAP processes; and (2) four SSA countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Somalia, South Africa) and two SIDS (Grenada Republic of the Marshall Islands) showing evidence of improved effectiveness characteristics.
