The Updated NDC states it will integrate cross-cutting themes such as gender, health, and social inclusion into prioritization of actions. The gender and social inclusion issues will be in line with national plans and policies. The document also drew from data gathered from sectoral workshops, which took gender mainstreaming into account.

Considerations on gender, youth, and vulnerable groups are also specifically mentioned as a strategic axis related to adaptation. Moreover, energy, infrastructure and agricultural projects in the NDC are to “inform and sensitize women, youth and Batwa as actors in the reduction of greenhouse gases” and build the capacity of these groups so as to “bring about a change in practices and optimize integrated landscape management and sustainable food value chain to increase the adoption of resilient and improved production systems."
