Building Women’s Climate and Disaster Resilience by Strengthening Climate Smart Villages for Increased Gender-responsive Climate and DRR Actions
Implementing Organization: Clim Adapt, HIMAWANTI Nepal, CDAFN
Supporter: UN Women
The project focuses on addressing the compounded challenges of climate change, disaster risk reduction (DRR), and social inequality in Nepal. It aims to enhance the resilience of marginalized communities, particularly women, who are disproportionately affected by climate change. By leveraging the expertise of a consortium led by HIMAWANTI Nepal, the project intends to strengthen gender-responsive climate initiatives in targeted districts through inclusive, evidence-based approaches.
- Strengthen the capacity of duty bearers to develop GEDSI Action Plans and gender data to be integrated into the provincial and local climate and DRR plans.
- Strengthen women’s group’s voice and agency and leadership role in the project location.
The project will be implemented in Marin and Hariharpurgadhi Municipalities of Sindhuli district and Bethanchowk, Dhulikhel and Namobuddha Municipalites in Kavrepalanchowk district, focusing on creating climate-smart villages. Activities include conducting workshops to develop GEDSI action plans, facilitating round-table discussions, collecting and analyzing gender data, and documenting indigenous knowledge. The project will also support women’s groups through bi-weekly sessions and capacity-building initiatives to enhance their leadership in climate and DRR advocacy.
