TECHNICAL REPORT Guideline for Gender Mainstreaming in Climate Change Response and Disaster Risk Management Planning

TECHNICAL REPORT
Guideline for Gender Mainstreaming in Climate Change Response and Disaster Risk Management Planning

The North Central Region, including Quang Tri and Ha Tinh provinces, is one of the areas most severely affected by climate change in Viet Nam, facing frequent storms, floods, droughts, and coastal erosion. These climate impacts exacerbate existing gender inequalities.

Women, in particular, bear a heavier burden of household and caregiving responsibilities, have more limited access to resources such as land, finance, and technology, and face barriers in decision-making processes. As a result, they are often more vulnerable to climate shocks and disasters.

At the same time, women play a vital role in agricultural production, natural resource management, and community resilience. However, their contributions are often undervalued and overlooked in planning processes.

This manual has been developed to support officers of line departments in the project provinces (Quang Tri and Ha Tinh) with practical tools and step-by-step guidance for mainstreaming gender into the process of formulating and implementing Climate Change Response Action Plans (CCRAP) within their respective sectors.
