Integrating gender-responsive and socially inclusive considerations in NAPs makes them more effective and equitable. While steady progress has been made over the years, this topic still requires the work and attention of adaptation leaders. This interactive session will enable participants to explore together how to consider gender equality and social inclusion in three critical areas where attention is urgently needed: women’s leadership; monitoring, evaluation, and learning; and finance and implementation. The session will provide participants with the opportunity to explore solutions that can work in their context and make their NAP more effective and equitable.
