Gender equality is a fundamental human right. The Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project (TCAP) was formulated cognizant of this right. Distinct effort has been made to promote gender equality and increase socio-economic gender empowerment in the project implementation. In the Funding Proposal (FP) Output 3.1 of the project envisaged that “all outer islands strategic plans and annual budgets integrate island-specific climate risks through existing gender responsive, participatory processes”. This Gender Strategy and Action Plan (GSAP) articulates a succinct roadmap to achieving these critical project outputs to enable greater resilience for men and women in Tuvalu.
