Gender Assessment for Climate Resilience Project in Northeast Brazil, July 2020
This document describes the Planting Climate Resilience in Rural Communities of the Northeast (PCRP) project in the semi-arid region of Northeast Brazil. The project's purpose is to address the observed increase in drought frequency, intensity, and severity over the past 36 years, and the projected temperature increase of 0.5 to 2.0 °C from 2011 to 2040, which threatens agricultural productivity for smallholder farmers. The project aims to build the resilience of the most vulnerable farmers by transforming their productive systems towards low-emission and climate-resilient agriculture. The scope covers vulnerable family farmers, women, youth, and traditional communities in Northeast Brazil. Key actions and components include: 1. **Transformation of Productive Systems:** Applying Climate-Resilient Productive Systems (CRPS) in family farms, backyard gardens, schools, biosaline production, entrepreneurship, and farmer networks. 2. **Improved Water Access:** Increasing access to water for agricultural production through investments in small-scale technologies for harvesting, reuse, treatment, and storage, specifically mentioning solar irrigation. 3. **Scaling Up Measures:** Supporting women, youth, and traditional communities to scale up tested adaptation and mitigation measures in their agricultural activities. 4. **Dissemination:** Disseminating CRPS and small-scale water harvesting systems within the Northeast Brazil semiarid region and abroad. 5. **Gender Integration:** Implementing a detailed Gender Action Plan, including a diagnosis of gender inequalities, defining guiding principles and operational forms, guaranteeing female representation (at least 40%) in technical teams and target populations, consolidating partnerships with gender-focused organizations, and defining guidelines for gender-focused educational activities for rural women. The affected sectors are primarily Agriculture (specifically smallholder/family farming), Water Management, and Rural Development. This document is a project description and a Gender Assessment (dated July 2020), related to a project identified as FP143 / B.27/02 (dated 19 November 2020). It does not specify regulatory or statutory names, nor does it list specific compliance deadlines or dates for project implementation milestones beyond the document dates.

GENDER ASSESSMENT: Planting climate resilience in rural communities of the Northeast (PCRP) 1. Introduction Women are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change since they constitute the majority of the world's poor and have been historically socialized to take care of natural resources, which are increasingly threatened by precarious environmental conditions.
