ClimateWISE: Strengthening Resilience through Women, Youth and Innovation in the Horn of Africa

Patricia Bamanyaki of the African Group of Negotiators Experts Support in Kenya will generate sex-disaggregated data and information together with platforms and tools to increase the resilience of women and youth to the challenges posed by climate change to agriculture and health in Kenya and Ethiopia. They will collect and integrate data from diverse sources to identify geographic hotspots in the two countries where women and youth are particularly vulnerable to climate change due to the overlap of risks associated with gender inequality, vector-borne diseases, and agricultural losses. This data will be made accessible and usable by stakeholders inside and outside government. They will also establish hubs at the regional level in each country that foster collaborative action between policymakers and agricultural and health practitioners to support women, youth, and marginalized groups in the face of climate change.
