CARE for South Asia project focus countries, including Nepal and Pakistan, have made considerable efforts in developing their Climate Change Gender Action Plans (ccGAPs), which express their commitments to actions towards advancing gender equality and realizing women’s and men’s equal human rights. Still, women and other marginalized groups continue to trail behind in terms of accessing policy benefits equitably as men and privileged groups. Given the nature of CARE for South Asia project’s support on climate-resilient policies and standards, there is an opportunity to support the project focus countries in meeting their COP25 commitments under the Enhanced Lima Work Program on gender, in translating national ccGAP commitments into sectoral strategies and investment plans and in addressing climate-related impacts with a clear, gender-informed approach.
Within the given frame of the Project Appraisal Document (PAD), the overall objective of gender mainstreaming as one of the cross-cutting themes in the CARE for South Asia project is to contribute to a conducive environment for gender responsive climate resilient policies and investments in agriculture, water and transport sectors, including planning and finance processes, in project countries — Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan.
In 2021 and 2022, CARE for South Asia project had undertaken a detailed Capacity Need Assessment (CNA) of relevant government officials working in key sectors in project countries. Based on the outcome of the CNA, a total of seven trainings on gender mainstreaming are planned to be offered in these countries. Two trainings will be on Gender-Responsive Climate Budgeting (GRCB) in Nepal and Pakistan, three will be on Gender Mainstreaming in Climate-smart.
Agriculture (GMCSA), and two trainings will be on Gender Mainstreaming in Climate-resilient Infrastructure and Services (GMCRIS) in Bangladesh and Nepal.
