| Abstract [eng] |
Just like any other continent, Africa is not immune to climate change. Climate change challenges stable socio-economic conditions and has a significant impact on crisissensitive areas such as agriculture and water management. Due to existing systemic vulnerabilities, women, who make up a large part of the agricultural labor force, are among the most affected. This research examines gender integration in the National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) of Nigeria and Sierra Leone, focusing on how these plans contribute to building resilience among vulnerable groups. Using a comparative approach, the study analyzes policy documents and field observations to explore the institutionalization of processes, stakeholder participation, and implementation mechanisms. The study will also highlight key aspects of women's involvement in adaptation planning, including achievements, ongoing efforts, and areas requiring further action, while identifying challenges and strategies for overcoming them. |
