Mainstreaming Gender in Climate Change Policies and Programs in Central Asia

Proposed

The proposed TA will assess the extent of gender mainstreaming in current climate change related policies and programs of four Central Asia DMCs, namely Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz, Republic, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, and recommend actions to integrate gender in their climate change policies and programs. Specifically, the TA will: (i) conduct a stocktaking of each covered DMC's existing national policies and programs on climate change, and assess how these policies have considered gender; (ii) propose amendments to include gender mainstreaming in climate policies and programs, or develop supplemental policy and program actions that enable addressing gender issues in climate change; and (iii) conduct a capacity building workshop with concerned government agencies and other stakeholders on strengthening integration of gender concerns in climate change policies and programs.
