13 INDTRODUCTION 1. The Outline of the Master Plan on Gender and Climate Change (MP-GCC) has been developed to serve Ministry of Women s Affairs (MOWA), line ministries (LMs) and institutions/agencies as the roadmap for mainstreaming gender and climate change in strategic planning, programmes/projects in Cambodia. 2. The MP-GCC provisions with two key frameworks to function simultaneously. The framework-1 synergies with the SPCR activities expected to be implemented by It is expected that the outline of the MP-GCC will be contributing in gender-responsive improved capacity in integration of resilience into country development strategies, plans, policies etc. It will be resulting to withstand and recover from climate variability and climate change effects in investment programme particularly in the fields of agriculture, water interventions, rural infrastructure, coastal zone, social safety-nets, insurance schemes, etc. placing DRR preventive measures in place. In addition, enhancing integration of learning & knowledge management mechanism will be improving acquaintances with the effect of climate change, climate variability for building climate resilience in Cambodia. The framework-2 of the MP-GCC bears a longer vision. It focuses on gender-responsive policy-strategy reform and development, strengthening institutional capacity on mainstreaming gender and climate change, enabling environment for Public Private Partnerships (PPP); improved and strengthened climate friendly livelihood activities for community based economy particularly for vulnerable people like women, DRR interventions and climate change adaptation and mitigation to ensure low carbon emission. It promotes awareness raising and outreach campaign; knowledge management and networking at national and sub-national levels inking with regional and global networks. It stimulates increased gender-segregated capacity to withstand/recover from climate variability and climate change effects in investment programs/projects, specific priority infrastructures, costal, agricultural, water interventions, social safety-nets, insurance-schemes as well. 3. The advancement of mainstreaming climate change and gender considerations at national level has been making substantial synergies with the progress at global level. The World Conference to Review and Assess the Achievements of the United Nations Decade for Women- Equality, Development and Peace (Nairobi 1985); Earth Summit (Rio, 1992); Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), The World Conference on Disaster Reduction (Hyogo, 2005), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC; the Conference of the Parties (COP), high-level roundtable on Gender and Climate Change (New York, 2007); development of the Global Gender and Climate Alliance (GGCA); the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) has continued to promote awareness of the links between gender, disaster and climate change; the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues etc. bear the witness of linkages at global levels. 4. In this connection, the gender consideration has been making significant progress in Cambodia. The Cambodian constitution of 1993 stipulates the equality between women and men; the RGC signed number of international conventions which obliges Cambodia to ensure that women s rights shall be protected at an internationally guaranteed standard, the RGC hasshown strong commitment to address climate change by ratifying the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1996 and the Kyoto Protocol in 2003; in 1999, MoE created a Climate Change Office, which was elevated to the Department of Climate Change in In 2006, it established the National Committee on Climate Change (NCCC) comprising high-level representatives from 20 ministries. The 1

14 Prime Minister has been the honorary chair of NCCC since In October 2006, the Government completed the National Adaptation Program of Action (NAPA). In March 2009, the Government launched the Strategic National Action Plan (SNAP) for disaster risk reduction (DRR), The strategic document of MoWA-Neary Rattanak III Five Year Strategic Plan focuses on five strategic areas: i) Economic Empowerment of Women, ii) Education of Women and Girls, Attitudes and Behavior Change, iii) Legal Protection of Women and Girls, iv) Health and Nutrition of Women and Girls, and HIV/AID, and v) Women in Public Decision-making and Politics, along with a gender mainstreaming program for national policies, reform, programs and sectors and a set of cross-cutting interventions. The Organic Law, adopted by the RGC on 22 May 2008, stipulates the principles of gender equality and women s rights and empowerment, and promotion of women s roles, participation and representation in politics and decision-making at the Province and Municipal, District andkhan, and Commune/Sangkat levels; the 10-year, , National Program for Sub-National Democratic Development (NP-SNDD) clearly outlines the gender issues. The Cambodia National Council for Women (CNCW) is the national inter-ministerial council to support the royal government by facilitating, following-up, and evaluating the implementation of national policies, laws, and other regulations in relation to the promotion of women s status, roles and welfare. The Technical Working Group on Gender (TWG-G) works within the framework of the Government- Donor Consultative Committee (GDCC) on cross-cutting issues including gender equality, partnership and harmonization, planning and poverty reduction, and de-centralization & deconcentration. At the sub-national level, Women s and Children s Consultative Committees (WCCCs) have been established as a sub-national mechanism to promote gender equality and empowering women and children under the jurisdiction of the Provincial and District Councils. Since 1993, the women representatives have been serving in decision making, political and legislative institutions like; women as the National Parliament Members, 7 persons in 1993, 15 persons in 1998, 24 persons in 2003, 26 persons in 2004 while women as the Senate Members, 9 persons for each term in 1999, 2006 and Women are empowered in the Executive Bodies like; Deputy Prime Minister (one person) since 2008, two women as ministers for each term since 1998, 2003 and 2008; women as the Secretary of State 3 persons in 1998, 9 persons in 2003, 16 persons in 1998; women as the Under Secretary of State 2 persons in 1993, 5 persons in 1998, 11 persons in 2003, 33 persons in The significant participation of women has been increasing accordingly at commune/sangkat, district/khan, and province/municipality levels. On the other, establishing inter-ministerial working group Gender Mainstreaming Action Groups (GMAG) to mainstream the gender issues into their respective strategies, polices, programs/projects and establishment of Gender and Climate Change Committee (GCCC) Working Group in MoWA to take responsibility for technical work, administration, finance, and raise ideas that are relevant to climate change heightened the institutional framework for mainstreaming gender and climate change issues in Cambodia. The Ministry of Women s Affairs (MoWA) plays a critical role in advocating for gender equality and in building capacity of sector ministries and institutions to integrate gender into their respective sectors. It acts as a catalyst and advocates to mainstream gender priorities in planning and operational processes and encourages public institutions, development partners, civil society and the private sector to integrate gender equality into their policies and programmes. 1 NIS Cambodia/2012 2

15 MP-GCC DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND METHODOLOGY 5. The following methodologies have been endeavored for developing this MP-GCC: Desk review: Focused on the existing policy-strategy, programmes /projects for overall gender mainstreaming and climate change resilience. A list of the studied materials have been listed in the Annex Meeting with individual professionals and institutions/agencies: The meeting with individual professionals from Government Ministries/institutions, CSOs/ CSO network, DPs, provincial officials etc. has been documented. Consultative workshops: To validate the findings from desk review, individual and group consultations and further collective inputs; there were two consultative workshops have been conducted. The consultative workshops held on April at Phnom Penh that contributed the vision, mission and objectives of the Master plan on gender and climate change; and the workshop held on June 2012 at Siem Reap contributed the key inputs for developing the Master plan for gender and climate change. Received comments from professionals, agencies to update the draft The draft MP-GCC was updated with the feedback from professional and experts from MoE, MoWA, UNDP and CSOs. GCCC, MoWA took the lead in preparing the document: GCCC facilitated series of meetings PPCR/SPCR team in preparing and updating the document. Discussion with UNDP Cambodia country and regional team: The discussions were held three times with UNDP team supporting MoWA in gender policy and strategy development. The UNDP regional gender experts team met the SPCR team at SPCR office discussed the key findings of the Master Plan on Gender and Climate Change. Discussion with UNDP gender consultant The SPCR team consulted with gender experts from UNDP three times on the draft at different time; MoWA collected inputs from line ministries/institutions on the MP-GCC and SPCR updated accordingly. Final Output review workshop GCCC presented the MP-GCC in the final output review workshop sometimes in November 2012 and finalized it updating from comments from participants. Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Analysis 6. In order to substantially enrich the MP-GCC, a SWOT analysis was facilitated with the representatives from government, development partners, CSOs, academia and research institutions during the workshop held on June, 2012 at Siem Reap. There are different types of threats identified. Recommendations were made by the workshop participants for potential solutions/ reduction of those threats. The identified Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats are as below: 3

16 Strength Institutional supports: Constitution, Law, Decree and Sub-Decree and Prakas; Policy-strategy supports: Rectangular Strategy, NSDP, CMDG, Disaster Management Systems etc. Plans, program/project support: decentralization and Deconcentration, CCCA, PPCR/SPCR etc.; Capacity building supports: line ministries, program/projects support government officials in strengthening cooperation, coordination, communication, capacity building related activities Some budget/fund is provided by Government, Development Partners Local/traditional knowledge: the local /traditional knowledge, capacity and expertise in ministries Opportunities Ministries/institutions, agencies, NGOs and Development Partners are working in cooperation and fund support for officers to attend training courses, increase awareness. Neary Rattanak III (on-going) and Neary Rattanak IV (up-coming) CEDAW Gender mainstreaming in national policies, programs and plans. Different programs/projects NAPA Follow-up projects, CCCA, PPCR and so on supports gender mainstreaming issues Weakness Lack of dissemination and information management Insufficient funding resources Inadequate awareness, capacity, coordination, networking on climate change and gender mainstreaming issues Inadequate officers to meet the requirements Inadequate strategic vision in planning and programming on climate change and gender mainstreaming at sectoral and sub-national and local level on gender-responsive socioeconomic development and household women empowerment, crop insurance, micro insurance etc. Threats Floods Potential Solutions Safe place (evacuation centers)emergency response /aid, flood proof crop plantation flood-resilient housing, road and other infrastructure development networking, coordination and communication to learn flood- adaptive mechanisms from others community and institutional capacity building on gender and climate change mainstreaming to reduce the flood risks Networking and knowledge management mechanism for awareness raising, information dissemination etc. Drought drought Early Warning System emergency response /aid drought-proof crop plantation networking, coordination and communication to learn drought-adaptive mechanisms undertaking irrigation schemes Constructing water reservoirs, water saving, rain water harvesting and water management etc. community and institutional capacity 4

17 building on gender and climate change mainstreaming to reduce the drought risks Networking and knowledge management mechanism for awareness raising, information dissemination etc. Storms storm Early Warning System emergency response /aid Tree-plantation like Ning-Nuong, Croniueu etc. at household level to weaken/reduce the severity of storm, Reforestation Emergency response/aid Biological diseases: Vaccination Health, hygiene, safe sanitation Institutional and community capacity building on preparedness against biological hazards like EV71, bird-flu, any epidemic etc. Networking and knowledge management mechanism for awareness raising, information dissemination etc. Forest/bush Fire Awareness raising Information dissemination community preparedness community first-aid preparedness and ensure available first-aid-kits 7. Analysis: The identified strengths are the part of progresses and achievement of the RGC on gender and climate change mainstreaming in development efforts in Cambodia. It was also identified that the strength would be broader and more organized if the GCCC/MoWA could perform more active roles in designing the activities rather than a passive role 2 player. The available strength is indeed inadequate in order to address the commitments of the RGC reflected through different strategies and plans. The weakness triggers up when the strength is inadequate. The identified weakness in information collection, analysis, interpretation; funding; awareness, capacity, coordination, networking etc. on gender and climate change issues make vulnerable people more vulnerable. Poverty particularly for the women headed households; dependent elderly people, disabled, migrants etc. pose people to live at higher risks due to their low adaptive capacity and financial insolvency. Limited funding to design programme/projects to strengthen the institutional capacity and supporting of vulnerable people slow the vulnerability reduction processes of the people at higher risks. Tranquil networking, knowledge management and cross-visiting of relevant project 2 Passive role refers to the role that MoWA officials just participate the sessions/workshop/meeting/training invited by the partner/collaborator institutions/agencies 5

18 sites also contribute in weakening the overall processes. On the other, most of the existing plans and programmes/project are five-year long. As a result, there are narrow interfaces from one phase to the other. In order to maximize the opportunities, there is a need to build up intense gender-responsive capacity in gender mainstreaming and climate change issues at national sectoraland sub-national levels. The programmes/project developed by government, development partners, civil societies have been expanding the opportunities of the institutions and communities. But limitations of skill human resources, financial resources and technological aspects the opportunities stay far-off and the community withstands with vulnerability. In regard to threat risk reduction; gender-responsive coordination, collaboration, capacity building issues need to be prioritized; reinforcing of policy-strategy, programme/project development, developing Gender Mainstreaming Action Plans (GMAP) for all sectors and institutions need to be prioritized and strengthened. The programmes/projects should be ensured inclusion of the gender and climate components with budgeting and science based adaptations. All programmes/projects should be monitored and evaluated, and justify how the gender-responsive results are contributing in overall vulnerability reduction, rights based socio-economic development approaches. Genderresponsive institutional and community capacity building, coordination and collaboration mechanisms should be put in place for the safeguard of socio-economic progress. DRR responsive GMAPs can be a stronghold for reducing the disaster 3 threats not only from institutional perceptions but also from vulnerable people and community standpoints. It was also highlighted that SPCR target provinces should establish the preventive measures for DRR. In specific, climate and disaster risk assessment, and developing risk reduction action plans and piloting some options (projects) in the target provinces will be a model to other provinces not only for safer investments but also for strengthening climate and economic development processes in Cambodia. Vision 8. Enhanced resilience to climate change leading to improved livelihoods, especially for vulnerable people including women, children, disabled and elderly people in Cambodia. Mission 9. Institutional policy and strategy support the climate change and gender considerations. It empowers and prepares people and community at risks with science-based adaptations to cope with climatic hazards and disasters 4, and stimulates safer investments, enhances climate friendly household economy particularly for the most vulnerable people 5 in Cambodia. Strategic Objectives 10. The strategic objectives of the Master Plan on Gender and Climate Change (MP-GCC) are as follows: 1) Strengthen policy-strategy: To review, update and develop policy and strategy to mainstream gender and climate change issues at all levels 6 in Cambodia 3 Disasters refer to natural disasters like drought, flood etc.; manmade like boarder issues etc.; biological like pandemic etc. 4 Disasters refer to natural like drought, flood etc.; manmade like boarder conflict, biological like bird-flu, EV-71, HIV/AIDS etc. 5 Vulnerable people refers to the people particularly women, elderly people, children, disabled, minority and migrants who are at risks due any disasters 6 At all level refers to national sectoral, capital/provincial, municipal/district/khan, commune/sangkatlevels; 6

19 2) Gender-responsive institutional capacity building: To strengthen institutional capacity, prepare with science-based adaptations, reduce disaster risks, advocate and promote safer investments, and demonstrate sustainable livelihoods activities for the people living in the areas most affected areas by climate variability and climate change; 3) Gender-responsive Community capacity building: To empower and prepare with science-based adaptations to reduce the impacts of climate change, carry out climate-friendly investments, and work on sustainable livelihoods in the climate-affected communities; 4) Technical and economic empowerment of vulnerable people: To empower vulnerable people to improve their skills in DRR and endow with economical activities for their safer and persistent life; 5) Primary health and first-aid: To create awareness on primary health and first-aid for the highly vulnerable people in order to reduce health-risks and promote safer family-heal that the community levels; 6) Security and insurance: To introduce micro insurance, crop insurance, health insurance facility for the highly vulnerable households to reduce their economic dependency from high interest money lenders 7) Piloting projects for demonstrations: To pilot projects to demonstrate how the genderresponsive to climate change leading to improved livelihoods work for the vulnerable groups including women, children, and elderly people in Cambodia INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK ON GENDER AND CLIMATE CHANGE 11. The existing institutional mechanisms for gender, DRR and climate change mainstreaming are as follows: Figure 1: Existing Institutional Framework on Gender and Climate Change in Cambodia The active GMAG at national (GMAG) and provincial level (PGMAG) have been working since it was incepted. The GCCC at national level has been working effectively but it does not exists yet at 7
