Process for Developing NDC
The development of South Sudan’s second NDC involved stakeholders from government institutions and civil society. There was an extensive participatory process wherein parties were given the opportunity to incorporate their goals and perspectives within the document.
Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism
This NDC affirms the need for financial support from the international community to meet its targets. It lays out an institutional framework for implementation which will involve the NDC focal point, implementing and executing entities, technical assistance and capacity-building agencies and financing bodies.
Summary of Gender Reference
Gender is mentioned several times throughout South Sudan's second NDC. In fact, among the NDC’s implementing entities is the Ministry of Gender, Child and Welfare. The document also notes the crucial role that women play in combatting climate change, as well as how they are disproportionately affected by its impacts. As such, it acknowledges the need to integrate gender perspectives within national climate change policies and strategies, so as to reduce the vulnerability of women. Moreover, the country will “target 35 percent representation of women in climate change decision-making [bodies],” and will support efforts to increase women’s participation in climate action, specifically within the realm of adaptation planning in the agricultural, forestry and fisheries sectors. This NDC acknowledges that gender dynamics will change in various sectors, the more women become empowered.
