Description of Project:
The CARE for South Asia project focuses on supporting Nepal and Pakistan in advancing gender-responsive climate policies. While these countries have developed their Climate Change Gender Action Plans (ccGAPs) to promote gender equality, women and marginalized groups continue to face barriers in accessing policy benefits equitably.
Given the project’s emphasis on climate-resilient policies and standards, there is an opportunity to assist project countries in fulfilling their COP25 commitments under the Enhanced Lima Work Program on Gender. This includes translating national ccGAP commitments into sectoral strategies and investment plans while integrating a gender-responsive approach in climate policies across agriculture, water, and transport sectors.
As part of this initiative, a Capacity Needs Assessment (CNA) was conducted in 2021–2022 to evaluate the capacity gaps of government officials in key sectors. Based on its findings, a series of seven gender mainstreaming trainings were planned across Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan, covering:
- Gender-Responsive Climate Budgeting (GRCB) – Two trainings (Nepal, Pakistan)
- Gender Mainstreaming in Climate-Smart Agriculture (GMCSA) – Three trainings
Gender Mainstreaming in Climate-Resilient Infrastructure & Services – Two trainings
