The aim of the workshop is to enhance the impact of UNDP’s work on climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts in the ECIS region through strengthening the incorporation of gender concerns within climate change programming as well as ensuring greater participation of women in climate change initiatives. For this goal, the workshop intends to enhance the capacity of Country Offices in identifying and responding to linkages between gender and climate change agendas. Community of Practice building, involving environment & energy practitioners and gender practitioners, will also be part of the workshop. Additionally, the workshop is expected to enhance the institutional capacity of UNDP Country Offices to address and facilitate integration of gender concerns in climate change initiatives through the use of knowledge management tools.
