Under the Paris Climate Agreement, Ghana submitted its Nationally Determined Contributions (GH-NDCs)1 to the Secretariat of the UNFCCC in September 2015. GH-NDCs outline 31 programmes of action (consisting of 20 mitigations and 11 adaptations) spread across seven economic sectors namely, energy and industry, health, transport, agriculture and forestry, waste, water, and gender/the vulnerable. GH-NDCs actions are unique because gender was submitted as a thematic area and as a cross-cutting issue within the other sector actions. However, it is unclear the extent to which these 31 programmes of action integrate issues pertaining to gender and this report provides gender analysis in five key sectors of the NDC: Water, Waste, Health, Transport, Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Service Sectors.
