Gender and Climate Change Action Plan (GCCAP) 2014-2018

GENDER AND CLIMATE CHANGE ACTION PLAN (GCCAP) 2014-2018 Prepared by Gend er and Climat e Change Committee (GCCC) Minist ry of Women's Affairs (MoWA) Phnom Penh, Cambodia June 2014 .. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Global wa rming and climate change pose real threats and risks to people's lives. In Cambodia, the impacts of a changing global climate relate predominantly to extended droughts, flooding, rising temperatures and changing weather patterns, including unprecedented heavy storms ; all of those are crucia l for agriculture and the lives of mostly rural communi t ies. " Climate Change" has been emerging as an issue of national significance for future deve lopment in Cambodia in 2009. Many initiatives have been put in place by the Royal Government to address climate change by piloting projects and policy debates in the context of Vulnerability Reduction, Environmental Sustainability and Green Growth. The severe impacts of a changing climate in Cambodia call for urgent action on a nationwide scale. Recently, the Royal Government has developed the Climate Change Strategic Plan (2014-2023) which includes different sectors such as education, agriculture, industry, water and others. As women have a key role to play in adaptation and mitigation of climate change, the Gender and Climate Change Action Plan is an important building block in the overall national efforts. Since the beginning, MoWA pro-actively participated in respective national planning, program formulation and implementation of pilot measures with a particular focus on gender aspects, i.e. the role of women in coping with a changing climate and natural environment. The Climate Change Action Plan of MoWA is meant to address specifically vulnerable women and other groups such as children and elderly through capacity building in policy making, leadership development, livelihood- and green growth related activities. The Plan was developed with guidance and support from the Cambodian Climate Change Alliance (CCCA) and the Ministry of Envi ronment (MoE).

Background The Gender and Climate Change Action Plan (GCCAP) is developed following the Cambodia Climate Change Strategic Plan (CCCSP) according to the guidelines of the Council of Ministers and consultation with all stakeholders. Gender is considered important for planning and formulation of cl imate change measures and actions. It is part of Neary Rattanak IV (NR-IV) 2014-2018, which is MOWA's Five Year Strategic Plan to achieve Gender Equality in Cambodia. The planning process of GCCAP is supported and guided by the Cambodia Climate Change Alliance (CCCA). The GCCAP will be integrated in the annua l planning and budgeting procedures with possible fund ing contributions from International Development Partners. a. Policy The po licies and activities related to gender equality and women in Cambodia are guided by NR-IV, the Ministry's Five Year Strategic Plan 2014-2018. NR-IV focuses on six strategic areas: 1) Economic empowerment of women; 2) Education of women and girls, attitudes and behavior change; 3) Lega l protection of women and gi rls; 4) Health and nutrition of women and girls, HIV/ AIDS; 5) Women in public decision-making and politics. 6) Climate Change and Green Growth. Both, women and men in Cambodia are equally vulnerable to climate change impacts. They can equally be empowered to participate in climate change adaptation and mitigation, and participate in policy making processes to transform economies into greener ones. In 2011, MoWA became a member of the National Climate Change Committee (NCCC), which is headed by the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and supported by a number of multi-and bi-lateral donor agencies, including EU, UND P, SIDA, DANIDA etc. Since then, MoWA contributed to the development of the national Cambodia Climate Change Strategic Plan (CCCSP), which includes gender assessments of Sectora l Climate Change Strategic Plans, for example, in agriculture, forestry and fishery etc. Given Cambodia's la rge young population and the fact that youth will determine the outlook of Cambodia's future economy, consumption patterns and lifestyles, GCCC/MoWA ensures full participation of both fema le and male youth in consu ltation, decision-making and climate change adaptation and mitigation. There are also specific concerns of vulnerabilities of ethnic and religious minorities in marginalized geographic locations including socio-cult ural and linguistic barriers. GCCC/MoWA advocates with relevant development partners for pro-poor growth measures. These include reducing economic inequalities in Cambodia's population, in terms of economic status, consumption patterns and lifestyles, and the higher costs that women bear as a result of climate change. b. Situation Climate change affects men and women differently, due to gender division of labor in households, communities and societies, and gender access to and control over resources and benefits. Climate change impacts are a greater burden on women as women are less endowed economically, less educated than men, and often excluded from political and household decision-making processes. In addition, women have fewer assets and depend more on natura l resources for their livelihoods. Their health status can be much lower than that of men's due to specific conditions peculiar to women (e.g. pregnancy, anemia and ARI) or gender differences in physical strengths. All of these factors contribute to women's greater vulnerability to climate change impacts than that of men. Women also shoulder care work disproportionally. Cambodian women contribute to the country's development by their active roles in the three domains of reproduction, production and community development. Women dominate the care work of family members; this is mostly unpaid, unrecognized and unaccounted for by the formal economic system. Women do a majority of housework such as buying/shopping, cooking, washing, cleaning and care work. Pregnant women can be at a heightened risk of malaria and dengue infection arising from increased rainfall because of their anemic condition and decreased level of immunity. Women tend to prioritize others' survival over theirs in a crisis. So, they are less likely than others to survive extreme weather events and are at risk of reproductive health-related complicati ons or sexual and gender-based violence during natural disasters. Pregnant women can be at increased risk of premature delivery, miscarriage and other reproductive health complications during natural disasters1 . Overall, mortality and morbidity risks of women during natural disasters ea n be expected to be higher as a result of these effects. Customarily, women in Cambodia have had equal rights as their male siblings to inherit land from parents. Yet, Cambodia's economy is diversifying, with a departure from a land-based economy, and mechanization of agriculture is becoming evident. Women have much lower access to crucial inputs to food production, such as livestock, tools and fertilizers. Climate change impacts, such as cyclones, floods (including those in urban areas after heavy rain), soil erosion and droughts, can add more burden to the already thinly stretched capacities of women who are providers of food, care-takers of family members and bearers of cultural values. As adults, women have fewer opportunities for education and training, and less access to information. Women are therefore less able to understand and act on critical information as it relates to climate change and natural disasters, for example, meteorological information, early-warning system of natural disasters, and evacuation orders. Women are more likely to end up in financially challenging si tuations 1Wo rld Health Organization, 2012 which place them in subordinate positions to men; they have less ca pacity to understand climate change impacts, adaptation and mitigation. Women are more dependent on natura l resources as sources of food, medicine and firewood. These are typically feminine tasks that men normally do not do. Women tend to rely on natura l resources that are most at risk from climate change impacts. In addition to emissions, Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) harm women's and children's respiratory health, due to their proximity to open fire. Women and ch ildren, and at times men, from very disadvantaged backgrounds depend on urban waste and recycling for their livelihood . Th is is another source of GHG emission and health hazard. Women have major roles to play in greening economies and must secure not only employment opportunities, but social and legal protection rights during the restructuring of Cambodia's economies into greener and cleaner ones. Women engage in reproductive and economic activities which produce Greenhouse Gases (GHGs}, predominantly low-cost wage labor in manufacturing, precarious occupations in the service industry, and self-employment in the informal sectors: there is a high proportion of women in 'brown Industries' such as manufacturing, especia lly garments and shoes. These are industries which not only contribute to GHG emissions, but also offer little social and legal protection to workers. c. Priority Areas During the next five years and within the framework of the CCCSP and CCAP, MoWA will actively address the fo llowing priority areas: 1. Strengthening institutional capacity and cross-sectoral coord ination with a focus on women's role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. 2. Improving capacity, knowledge and awareness on women's role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. 3. Reducing vulnerabilities to climate change impacts of disadvantaged women and other groups. 4. Reducing GHG emissions by introducing climate friendly, low carbon economic activities for women. These will contribute to NR-IV (2014-2018} and the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP, 2014 2018) by reducing vulnerabilities and empower women in economic development. II. Strategies The object ives of GCCAP are supporting t he Cambodia Climate Change Strategic Plan (CCCSP) as follows: 1. Women's participation in climate change policymaking will be increased. 2. The funding ru les for gender and climate change initiatives will be established and made operational through gender-responsive budgeting in the current and upcoming projects/programs/policies (both external and national sources). 3. The level of awareness of public policymakers will be increased on the importance of gender equa lity in cl imate change adaptation and mitigation. 4. Women's climate change adaptation and mitigation needs will be met by strategic and cata lytic initiatives on gender and cl imate change on a priority basis, following the development of crit eria, based on the findings of vulnerability and adaptation analyses. 5. National capacities are enhanced to plan, implement and monitor gender-integrated cl imate change adaptation and mitigation initiatives. 6. Effective mechanisms for scaling up the proven experiences on gender and climate change are identified; lessons and best practices of gender and climate change are elicited and ana lyzed for sha ring and learning in national, regional and global forums.

Implications for Expenditure in the Ministry Total public expenditure under the Ministry's portfolio amounted to 67.6 billion riels in 2012 (approx. 16.9 million US0)2. This included 29.6 billion riels (7.4 million USO) through the national budget, and 38 billion riels (9.5 million USO) through off-budget support. Significant portions of the off-budget support to gender issues were not directly managed by the ministry (direct implementation by donors or NGOs). Of this total, 2.7 billion riels (approx. 675,000 USO) have been identified has directly climate related in 20123. On average, the proposed annual budget for climate change actions wou ld represent a 4.3% crease in total public expenditure for the sector, and a 108.4% increase on climate expenditure in the sector (based on expenditure in 2012). IV. Management and Financing Mechanism Analysis of existing management and financing mechanisms The Ministry of Women's Affairs (MoWA) is a pilot Ministry for Programme Budgeting, which covers approximately 35% of the total domestic budget. Domestic budget is entirely allocated to recurrent expenditures, while development activities are funded externally. MoWA has an established Technical Working Group to coordinate International Development Partners support to NR-IV (2014-2018) which is currently being finalized). Main International Development Partners including Germany, ADB, UNDP, EU and Japan. International Development Partners support is provided exclusively through off-budget projects, aligned with the sector strategy. It is planned to establish a full Program-Based Approach (PBA) under the NR-IV framework, but the exact management arrangements for this PBA are not yet defined. Climate Change is a cross-cutting element in this new strategy, particularly under the pillars related to Women Economic Empowerment (WEE), and Health. The Gender and Climate Change Committee (GCCC) has been established to lead cl imate change-related activities in MoWA. The Department of Planning and Statistics plays a key role to reflect NR-IV objectives in the Public Investment Programme (PIP) for resource mobilization purposes. The exact institutional arrangements for climate change activities are not yet fully decided, but may include the creation of a dedicated unit or Department. Analysis of potential sources and volume of finance for Climate Change actions The proposed activities in the CCAP reflect MoWA's advisory mandate on gender issues within the Royal Government of Cambodia and include mostly capacity development, research and awareness and activities on gender and climate change for MoWA and line ministries. In addition, support to pilot initiatives is planned, in order to generate lessons learnt and inform gender mainstreaming policies to RGC climate change projects. The total estimated cost over 5 years is 3.6 million USO. It is expected that a portion of these costs will be covered under the Strategic Programme for Climate Resi lience (SPCR) initiative implemented by ADB, possibly up to 1.5 million USO. Specific activities could also be covered by existing donors, such as Germany and UNDP, in the areas where they operate. MoWA's services to climate change projects in other sectors are likely to be "sub-contracted" th rough the gender component of sector projects (as is already the case for SPCR), rather than funded through stand-alone gender projects . If the MoWA restructuring includes dedicated staff on climate change, this wil l be funded through the domestic budget. Finally, some strategic interventions (e.g. re lated to M&E or research) could be fun ded through dedicated climate finance in country (e .g. CCCA). Entry points for climate change mainstreaming in management and financing mechanisms Once a decision is made on the entity responsible for climate change within MoWA, the recurrent needs of this unit (staff, operational costs etc.) shall be included in the budget strategic plan and budget request to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF). With regard to development activities, CCAP activities shall be reflected by the Department of Planning and Statistics in the annual Public Investment Plan (PIP) submission of MoWA. The GCCC will ensure that CCAP strategies and actions are adequately reflected in NR-IV; and will discuss at the level of the Technical Working Group, to explore possible commitment from International Development Partners. MoWA will work closely with Ministry of Environment and line Ministries to identify new climate change initiatives in their respective sectors, and engage institutional donors on the gender elements of their proposed projects and potential support from MoWA. V. Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring and evaluation of the CCAP will be conducted consistently with the national framework for M&E established by the CCCSP. The Department of Planning and Statistics will have the responsibility to manage the monitoring, reporting and evaluation process with the technical support of the GCCC. It will carry out these tasks with the support and in coordination with the MoE and MoP. Progress in the implementation of the CCAP wi ll be reviewed on an annual basis in the framework of the Annual Progress Review of NR-IV; a specific chapter reviewing the CCAP progress will be included. The CCAP indicator framework consists of two levels: 1) Core indicators which measure the overall outcome of CCAP at the national level and 2) The result-based indicators which will monitor the success of each action or program. Since gender is a cross-cutting issue, the M&E framework indicators and related data collection must be coordinated or integrated with other ministries and National Institute of Statistics (NIS).Relevant core indicators for climate change and gender will be also included in the next National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP, 2014-2018}. Below are two core indicators that can be used to evaluate policies and specific interventions which would require cooperation and contributions of other ministries: Percentage of CC programs targeting women, elderly and disadvantaged groups; Reduced gender disparity resulting from Climate Change impacts (injuries, death, malnutrition, health implication, education, decision making); A mid-term evaluation will be organized in 2016 and a final evaluation in 2018. The evaluations will assess the progress in implementing the CCAP and CCSP, its relevance and contribution in addressing gender dimension of climate change response and achieving impacts foreseen in NR-IVand NSDP2014 2018, and integration in planning and monitoring systems of MoWA. The evaluations will also assess the alignment and contribution towards achieving the objectives set in the CCCSP4, and will provide recommendations for future adjustment of the policy response . To th is effect it will be important that evaluations identify lessons learned and, if needed, entry points for improving policies and actions. A precondition for organization of quality evaluations at program (CCAP} and action levels will be that sufficient resources for monitoring and evaluation are budgeted in the actions. •'1-3'~~ -~ -;~ , .....

Developing and Number of v iable and replicable gender based demonstration projects . piloting gender-based cl imate change adaptation and m itigation projects VI . Legal Requirement Implementation of GCCAP does not require amendment of existing regulations or development of additional law since specific legal framework governing climate change is more relevant under the mandate of other line ministries. However, there is a possibility of developing a sub-decree to establish a new Department of Gender and Environment under MoWA, which can become a permanent structure for routine planning and budgeting of climate change actions. VII. Conclusion GCCAP is developed in response to the growing aggravating of climate change impacts on the Cambodian population, and especially the poor, women and children. Lack of capacity and skills of the population in coping with climate change impacts and risks, natural disasters and ext reme weathers condition are considered key factors making Cambodian society vulnerable to climate change. GCCAP is designed to address knowledge and capacity gap by organizing t rainings, promoting communication and knowledge dissemination at various levels ranging from decision makers, technical officers, communities and to the women, and demonstration of gender-based climate change adaptation and mitigation projects. Public participation, especially women, is crucial to ensure successfu l implementation of appropriate adaptation and mitigation plans and projects. This CCAP results will be reviewed and evaluated according to the M&E indicators and the lessons learned during the course of CCAP implementation will be used to improve the next planning cycle. It is critical also that MoWA needs to work closely with the Ministry of Environment and other line ministries to achieve effectively the goals and objectives of SCCSP and GCCAP. VIII .

This action will contribute to: a. CCCSP Strategic Objective2: Reduce sectoral, regional and gender vulnerabi lity to climate change impacts. b. SCCSP for MoWA Strategic Objective4: Women's climate change adaptation and mitigation needs are met by strategic and catalytic initiatives on gender and climate change on a priority basis, following the development of criteria, based on the findings of vulnerability and adaptation analyses. This action has clear link to MoWA's NR-IV (2014-2018) and NSDP (2014-2018). Women are major actors and agents of change in several areas of mitigation and adaptation as men and women have different needs and roles in dealing with climate change. Areas in which women are traditionally engaged and which are closely tied to the availability of natural resources (such as food security, domestic energy and water) will be hit particularly hard by the consequences of climate change and require greater adaptation. Therefore demonstration of projects with combination of mitigation and adaptation such as energy saving/efficiency in cooking and home lighting, water supply and sanitation, and organic agriculture can benefit both climate change and livelihoods of the households in terms of cost saving, increased agricu ltural productivity, and improved health of the family. Category 3 - Dedicated Adaptation and mitigation Short description a) Specific activities would include a review of best practice of gender-based climate change intervention (mitigation and adaptation) in Cambodia and elsewhere; b) identification and pi loting gender based win-win solutions to climate change adaptation an~ that can benefit also livelihoods; /4:.,:;:::.~ -~::~/,!':~ ,, .. . ·v .,,./ ~--- ~ ....
