This toolkit provides a gender-smart Climate and Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance (CDRFI) policy self-assessment framework to identify and analyse the extent to which gender considerations are integrated into your country’s CDRFI-related policies and where there are gaps. This analysis can help you to understand the extent to which gender-based differences in behaviour, risks and vulnerabilities between people are considered within CDRFI-related policies.
The findings can assist you to understand gender and CDRF-related policy constraints and enablers and inform recommendations to strengthen the gender-responsiveness of these policies. These recommendations can be drawn on to develop a gender-smart CDRFI action plan. If you work at a regional level, this toolkit will support you to compare gender-smart CDRFI policy actions and gaps between countries at a regional level by aggregating high-level analysis on multiple countries in a given region.
