In a recently submitted evaluation report, Kenya recognized the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform for its contributions to the country’s progress toward priorities laid out in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Gender Action Plan (GAP).

The GAP, part of the UNFCCC’s Enhanced Lima Work Programme, aims to advance gender-responsive climate action. The implementation of the current GAP is coming to an end later this year, and all Parties to the Convention, including Kenya and observer organizations like CGIAR, were invited to carry out evaluations to feed into discussions on next steps for the UNFCCC’s gender priorities. These evaluations, captured into a recently published synthesis report, are the basis for ongoing discussions at the Bonn Climate Change Conference.
