Gender Mainstreaming in Climate Change Finance Projects

The African Development Bank’s Department of Gender, Women and Civil Society (AHGC) designed, in partnership with the Climate Change and Green Growth Department (PECG), the AfDB/CIF’s Inclusive Climate Action Initiative.  This initiative was  implemented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2019. The purpose of the Initiative was to support the concrete integration of gender into future Climate Invest Fund (CIF) initiatives implemented under the supervision and support of the Bank by conducting context-specific research, developing two case studies on good practices and producing a set of knowledge resources to support the work of the African Development Bank and its staff.

Engaging business on safety and environmental care in Mozambique

In Mozambique, chemical companies distribute pesticides with safety information written in English instead of the local languages. This is putting users at risk, particularly women and children. Alarmed by seeing women spraying pesticides while carrying babies on their backs and using chemical containers to collect water, staff of the Africa Foundation for Sustainable Development (AFSD) took action.

 

They are working with the business community, the Ministry of Environment, the Global Environment Facility, WWF and other stakeholders to ensure that appropriate safety information is provided. They also promote natural alternatives to pesticides and develop chemical disposal facilities.

 

These efforts form part of Mozambique’s national plan to implement the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) while also contributing to national initiatives to achieve food security, reduce poverty and safeguard the environment. The work focuses on a region in southern Mozambique.
