Guinea - 2030

Gender is mentioned throughout Guinea’s NDC, and a separate section is dedicated to gender integration. Gender mainstreaming is considered a priority for mitigation and adaptation measures, as well as within the PNDES. In particular, the Updated NDC states that mitigation and adaptation measures are to improve the adaptive capacity and resilience of women and vulnerable groups in the country. Concerns of these groups are met by the following actions: 1) Provision of sufficient operating resources to the Gender and Equity departments created in all ministries in 2015; 2) Integration of adaptation and mitigation measures into resources dedicated to the Nation Fund to Support Women’s Economic Activities and the National Fund for Gender Promotion; 3) Effective application of the law on parity (adopted May 2, 2019), in which women must constitute 50 percent of electoral lists; and 4) Establishment of adequate technical training in relation to climate change for youth, women, and people with reduced mobility. Gender-specific monitoring is also included in the NDC's mitigation and adaptation measures, with the intention to support gender mainstreaming in public policy planning and to draw the necessary conclusions of potential differential effects.
