The study pointed at the need to address the loss of water storage capacities through land use change and land degradation by replacing the vegetation that had been lost, rehabilitating landscapes which lose a lot of water through runoff by gullies and loss of top-soils through erosion and rehabilitation of the buffer capacities of riparian areas, enforcing it through strengthening of respective legislation in this context and by supporting this through livelihood activities emerging from the land rehabilitation activities, with the target of reaching higher levels of productivity than before. Outstanding feasibility studies will collect more detailed information on cost-benefit analysis, socio-economic, environment, climate change, gender and human rights viability. **Outcome of the CRA (Climate Risk Assessment) screening:** CRA, or its equivalent, will be undertaken as relevant."}, {"bbox": [96, 422, 637, 450], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Gender equality and empowerment of women and girls"}, {"bbox": [96, 450, 1137, 1008], "category": "Text", "text": "As per the OECD Gender DAC codes identified in section 1.1, this action is labelled as G1. The Action is aligned with the EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024,⁷ and the EU Gender Action Plan 2021-2025 (GAP III)⁸ and its thematic area \"Addressing the challenges and harnessing the opportunities offered by the green transition and the digital transformation\". The activities under the Action Document will affect women and men differently: women are often more affected by energy poverty and housing issues, access to water and sanitation, they bear a greater responsibility for the family's food security, and have a stronger engagement in subsistence farming. Women tend to be receptive to circular economy behaviours, such as reuse and repair. Targeting gender roles and behavioural preferences in consumption, as well as waste generation and prevention, is a key pillar in transition to circular economy. In addition, the value of job creation, not least seeing to the trend of the growing number of female entrepreneurs, will be recognized in support schemes to SME's. On the beneficiaries of MSME support schemes, their selection will follow a due diligence procedure, including how women leadership and participation and jobs for women could be created and corporate social responsibility. Considering Natural capital and Biodiversity involves identifying the influence of gender roles in the management and conservation of biodiversity, which imply different labour responsibilities, priorities and decision-making power. Women are more affected by energy poverty, not least connected to the household and to health issues. All programme components comprise an individual gender assessment which helps identifying relevant aspects to enhance gender equality and support especially women's needs. In addition, youth involvement will be prioritised. The support of the implementation and follow up of the government's objectives will require EU-supported actions to have its own set of specific gender relevant theories of change, and to provide for gender-disaggregated information. The EU is part of the Development Partners Group on Gender (DPGG), and of Gender Sector Working Group (GSWG), together with the State Department of Gender Ministry."}, {"bbox": [96, 1037, 244, 1064], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## Human Rights"}, {"bbox": [96, 1064, 1137, 1463], "category": "Text", "text": "Climate resilient watersheds comes with several severe challenges for GoK to provide for a satisfactory living conditions for the population in affected areas. Apart from the human rights challenges emancipating from the deepened poverty that could come as a consequence of flooding, due to loss of property and livelihoods, areas like food security, safety and jobs are threatened. Social services, such as education and health facilities, could have challenges to operate and serve the population. People and families forced to relocate may suffer new risks of entering into less safe and constructive roles elsewhere. For support to electric production and transmission issues of respect for the property of affected population could come into question, making sure it is minimised and that negative impacts are limited. More specifically, it could imply areas needed for electric installations that are being used for production, agriculture, grazing or other purposes. Outstanding feasibility studies will collect more detailed information on cost-benefit analysis, socio-economic, environment, climate change, gender and human rights viability. Any negative implications shall be mitigated by establishing an environmental and social management plan, engaging the communities, livelihoods if necessary as well as monitoring health and safety measures, among others. This will be assured by applying international best practice as the World Bank safeguards at all individual projects under the intervention. Other implications are not known at this stage.
