Apart from women’s involvement as stakeholders in the process for developing this NDC, this updated NDC would “ensure equitable access to economic opportunities across gender and will particularly target youth and indigenous peoples in areas where they are present.” As such the inclusion of gender is observed in sectoral targets of the mitigation and adaptation measures, such as the agriculture, forestry and other land uses sector. 

Gender-related targets of mitigation measures are, by 2030: (i) 50% women heads of household would be provided improved stoves, (ii) 50% women heads of household would be provided solar lightings and solar cookers, (iii) 50% women heads of household involved in coffee and cocoa based on agroforestry, and (iv) 50% women heads of household in urban areas would have planted at least one tree in their plot of land.

Gender-related targets of adaptation measures are, by 2030: (i) reduce the loss of land productivity by 50%, in which 50% female-owners would be targeted, and (ii) increase the production of non-timber forest products for food by 30%, in which 50% women heads of household would be targeted.
