The goal of the CIF Gender Action Plan – Phase 1 was to mainstream gender in CIF policy and programming in support of gender equality in climate-resilient, low carbon development investments in CIF countries. Phase 2 is envisioned as a deepening of the approach undertaken in Phase 1, moving from ‘mainstreaming’ alone, to a focus on policy, technical support, evaluation
(including of institutional processes and outcomes), and more gender-inclusive stakeholder engagement. Specifically, Phase 2 of the Gender Action Plan will maintain the gains made in gender-responsive M&E processes for CIF programs, external engagement and global dialogue, and learning and lessons-sharing, while extending the analytical (and evaluative), technical support, and formal policy elements of CIF’s gender agenda.
