Description: The Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP) aims to scale up investments in climate adaptation that address the nexus of climate, poverty and gender. The Program has established a gender window, the aim of which is to go beyond mainstreaming gender considerations in adaptation projects and to promote women-centered adaptation investments. Such investments recognize women’s role as “agents of change” in driving resilience. The session will engage a range of stakeholders including grassroot women’s leaders, policy makers, financial institutions, philanthropy and research organizations, in a dialogue to identify approaches and measures that the gender widow of the CRPP can adopt to overcome barriers and scale up women-centered adaptation investments.
