Published purpose

This project contributes to advancing the development and implementation of national climate change adaptation plans and climate change mitigation actions in nine Caribbean countries. These countries are Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Suriname. This project aims to develop and implement these plans and actions in sectors that greatly benefit women and girls, including agriculture and tourism. This project focuses on strengthening governance related to national climate change planning, and including women in governance. The project will build the capacity of the identified countries to prepare technically sound feasibility studies and gender-responsive project proposals to access climate finance from various organizations, including the Green Climate Fund. This project builds on the work of other partners to help identified countries strengthen their gender-responsive disaster recovery and risk reduction mechanisms, including their climate change plans and adaptation responses.
