As part of the implementation of the project “Advancing Inclusive Climate Governance: Integrating the Voices and Needs of Women and Women with Disabilities in Climate Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management,” SGI engaged relevant stakeholders to strengthen dialogue and collaboration around inclusive climate governance and disaster risk management.
In this feature, we spotlight Hadiza, a Monitoring and Evaluation Officer at the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), who participated in the stakeholder engagement and contributed her perspective to discussions on climate adaptation, disaster preparedness, response, and accountability.
The engagement provided an opportunity to exchange experiences, identify existing gaps, and highlight the importance of incorporating the perspectives and needs of women and women with disabilities into climate adaptation and disaster risk management processes.
Stakeholder engagements such as this are central to the project’s approach of fostering collaboration among government institutions, civil society organisations, women-led organisations, Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), and other relevant actors.
The project continues to advocate for participatory, gender-responsive, disability-inclusive, and accountable climate governance that recognises the experiences and contributions of women and women with disabilities in shaping climate resilience and disaster risk reduction efforts.
Watch Hadiza share her perspective from the engagement.
