Process for Developing NDC
The process for developing Nigeria’s Updated NDC was described as collaborative and inclusive, involving a wide array of stakeholders and taking into account inputs from Nigerian experts. Due to COVID-19, many of the stakeholder workshops were held virtually. Since March 2020, “the Federal Ministry of Environment, in close consultation with all relevant MDAs and other stakeholders, including the States, private sector, and civil society organizations, worked to prepare the update.” As part of this process, a detailed gender analysis was conducted to “determine gender differences in contributions to national development, division of labor, employment, access to resources, and participation in decision-making in the seven priority sectors of the NDC.”
Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism
Nigeria’s updated NDC mentions various policies and plans that are relevant to meeting its targets. These include the National Climate Change Policy for 2021-2030, and the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) framework. The NAP includes monitoring and evaluation component. In addition to this, Nigeria is also preparing an Adaptation Communication, which will be submitted by 2022.
Summary of Gender Reference
Gender has its own section within the document. Gender inclusion is listed as a cross-cutting issue that should guide mitigation and adaptation priorities. The update highlights Nigeria’s recently published National Action Plan on Gender and Climate Change, which aspires to ensure that national climate change processes mainstream gender considerations, focusing on the sectors of agriculture, forestry and land use, food security and health, energy and transportation, waste management, water and sanitation. The update recognizes the struggles women that face in accessing finance, services and resources. It mentions the need for new measures to bring about social inclusion and gender integration into climate change policies and actions, which should also be culturally appropriate.
