UN Women will support the development of a Sub-National Action Plan on the Prevention of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) due to Climate Change Impact. This action plan departs from the study convened by the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (Kementerian Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak (KPPPA)), UN Women, and UNFPA on ‘The Impact of Climate Change on GBV in Indonesia.’ During the environmental change, women, girls, and vulnerable groups are more susceptible to sexual, physical, and psychological harms, as well as denial of services and resources impacted or driven by climate change (Desai & Mandal, 2021). Due to gender inequity, women and girls are inherently subjected to Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV). Climate change and the scarcity of resources have forced women and girls to walk far to collect water, firewood, or food, which led them to become more vulnerable to various forms of SGBV. Finally, due to biodiversity degradation, vulnerable populations have difficulty escaping from the poverty trap.
As a follow-up to this study, KPPPA, with support from UNFPA, will develop a National Roadmap of Action Plans and Monitoring Tools for the Prevention of GBV from the Impact of Climate Change. This National Roadmap will be developed in Quarter 3 of 2024. Anticipating the upcoming National Roadmap, UN Women will support three Provincial Governments: (1) Central Sulawesi, (2) East Nusa Tenggara, and (3) West Nusa Tenggara, to prepare the document of ‘Sub-National Action Plan on the Prevention of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) from the Climate Change Impact.’ These three sub-national action plans will consist of at least five minimum components in each specific targeted province:
- Risk mapping
- Impact analysis of Climate Change to GBV
- Stakeholder analysis
- Sub-National Action Plan at the Provincial, District, Village levels
- Monitoring and Evaluation Tools
- Mapping on the Linkage between Sub-National Action Plan – National Roadmap
These Sub-National Action Plans will serve as government documents to guide the work plan on GBV Prevention, particularly in the areas of climate change, disaster management, prevention of social conflict, and deradicalization. The work on GBV prevention at the sub-national level will be led by the Department of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (Dinas Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak).
The consultant will be reporting to the Project Coordination Analyst, Peace – Humanitarian Nexus, who will provide oversight and direction for the overall assignment and be the point of contact for administration processes.
