ProjectFactsheetSupporting Gender-Responsive Adaptation to Climate Change in Kenya - UNJP/KEN/100/UWN 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The project aimed to address critical challenges posed by climate change in Kenya, particularly in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). In recent years, Kenya has experienced prolonged droughts, frosts in some of the productive agricultural areas, hailstorms, extreme floods, receding lake levels, drying up of rivers and other wetlands, etc., resulting in large economic losses, affecting food security and exacerbating poverty. These negative impacts are compounded by local environmental degradation, mainly caused by habitat loss due to land-use change, pollution, deforestation and overgrazing. Moreover, despite being the main producers of food, women in agriculture own fewer assets and have access to less land, fewer inputs and fewer financial and extension services than men, which limits their rights, potential and well-being, as well as their ability to build climate resilience. The project was designed to increase agricultural productivity, household income, nutrition and technical capacity of women farmer groups to adopt market-driven, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) value chains, while promoting gender equality. -

Taking a gender transformative approach for resilient and sustainable agrifood systems
2025Also available in:
No results found.This technical study highlights the role of discriminatory social institutions, unequal power relations and agency in influencing climate resilience processes for sustainable agrifood systems. It also defines core characteristics of gender transformative change in climate resilience programming and presents a collection of climate change interventions that address different dimensions of gender transformative change and the management of disaster risks in agrifood systems. The main audience for this study consists of food security, agriculture, climate and gender practitioners and experts with an interest in gender transformative change in interventions related to climate adaptation and disaster risk management. The paper was developed in the framework of the Joint Programme on Gender Transformative Approaches for Food Security and Nutrition (JP GTA). -

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideTraining guide on gender and climate change research in agriculture and food security for rural development 2013The guide is an important resource for development professionals and researchers working with households and communities. The objective of the gender and climate training guide is to address the lack of information on how men and women adapt to, and mitigate climate change. The Participatory Action Research methods and activities of the guide help ensure that gender is reflected in research activities and outcomes. The guide will help promote gender-sensitive adaptation and mitigation activities in projects for agriculture and food security. A gender-sensitive approach in agriculture is crucial to ensure that all people are supported to respond to climatic challenges.

Everything you need to know
2022Also available in:
No results found.API stands for Application Programming Interface (API) – and the keyword here is interface. In other words, APIs allow two or more digital applications or services to share data and information. Most people use APIs everyday without knowing it. Each time you use an app on your phone or computer, you are using an API to send data and/or information from one app to another. The HiH Geospatial Platform heavily relies on communication between multiple APIs to allow different components to interact with each other, resulting in the numerous services available to users. -
