BookletMainstreaming gender in national drought plans, national action plans and national policies 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Achieving gender equality and social inclusion is essential for realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in food security, climate resilience, and drought management. Gender equality – ensuring equal access to resources like land and water – is crucial for creating inclusive, resilient societies. In agriculture and rural development, addressing gender disparities is key to improving food systems and ecosystem resilience. Social inclusion also empowers marginalized groups to participate in decision-making and climate action.Integrating gender equality and social inclusion is vital for effective climate resilience. A Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) framework recognizes that climate risks are not gender-neutral and that women, youth, and persons with disabilities possess unique knowledge and resilience. Gender-transformative approaches – engaging both women and men as agents of change – are essential for overcoming social barriers and promoting equality.The Feminist Critical Policy Analysis Framework (FCPAF) offers a structured approach to evaluate drought policies through a gender lens, identifying gaps and enhancing gender integration. Case studies of Grenada, Jordan, and Somalia reveal areas for improving gender and social inclusion in drought planning. Additionally, the Minimum Standards for Mainstreaming Gender Equality and Social Inclusion in Climate Action guide the development of gender-sensitive policies.By involving diverse social groups in drought response strategies, policies can address the needs of vulnerable populations, reduce social inequalities, and strengthen resilience. Mainstreaming gender equality in drought policies ensures more effective, inclusive, and sustainable climate action. -
Book (stand-alone)Mainstreaming climate-related disaster risk reduction in eastern Africa’s agriculture and food sectors 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The eastern Africa sub-region has recurrently experienced climate-induced food insecurity crises. Their magnitude and frequency have been rising. To illustrate, the number of people affected by droughts has been multiplied seven folds, between the 1980 average decadal baseline and 2011. Floods and landslides also present rising impacts. To address the issues, countries have set up institutions for disaster risk management (DRM). However, prevailing hindrances affect their effectiveness. This rep ort thus recommends seven main priority intervention aspects for climate resilient agriculture and food sectors in the sub-region: (1) making early warning effective for early action in agriculture; (2) addressing population dynamics and constraints on natural resources; (3) developing risk-informed sector-specific DRM plans; (4) financial resource allocation and mobilization; (5) linking the development and humanitarian efforts; (6) transcending socio-cultural barriers; and (7) agro-ecologica lly appropriate infrastructure development and technology transfer. Otherwise, the magnitude of climate-induced food crises will escalate to unbearable levels. -
