Project Name:Women of Ferghana Valley at the Frontlines of Climate Resilience, Adaptation and Peace
Start Date:01 January 2024
End Date:31 December 2026
Location:
Description:The proposed project will address the nexus between gender, climate and sustaining peace, specifically low capacities of local communities in Ferghana Valley to prevent and manage climate induced conflicts, focusing on mitigating irrigation water conflicts in a gender-transformative way. The project will focus on the interplay and linkages between climate change, gender, and conflict in irrigation water use, capturing the negative feedback loop between climate change and conflict and unleash women’s transformation potential for effective and efficient local governance for climate induced conflict mediation and resolution. Overall programme strategy is to mitigate main climate induced water sector related conflict factors and strengthen resilience factors, building on women’s leadership and capacity at both community and institutional levels. Proposed project’s theory of change is focused on strengthening role of women as peace mediators and enhancing their role in assisting to anticipate and resolve climate-induced water related conflicts, specifically related to irrigation. Proposed interventions, aligned with Resolution 1325 NAP, will help promote women’s meaningful articipation, leadership and agency to mainstream a gender perspective into envisaged peacebuilding, conflict prevention and climate adaptation efforts in targeted local institutions and platforms for peacebuilding and climate resilience.Through focused transformative capacity building and institutional strengthening, supported by innovative, locally led solutions and engagement of key local actors, proposed interventions will decrease climate-induced conflicts in irrigation, and lead to better use of natural resources for the benefit of entire communities. From a transformational change perspective, replicable and scalable models will be created in targeted geographic areas for future replication in overall Ferghana Valley
