Synopsis (short abstract) This Regional Gender Equality Strategy for 2019–2022, developed by the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (REU), succeeds the first Regional Gender Equality Strategy and Action Plan 2016–2017, which was implemented successfully. This strategy, for the next four years, is based on the results of the FAO REU stock-taking exercises conducted in 2012 and 2017; and the feedback received at the 40th session of the European Commission on Agriculture (27–28 September 2017); and the feedback received from nearly 60 technical officers and staff, including gender focal points, at the brainstorming session of the Regional Initiative Coordination Meeting (12 September 2018) and the FAO REU regional gender mainstreaming workshop held on 18–19 October 2018 in Ankara, Turkey. The regional strategy and action plans outline main areas of REU gender work in the region, roles and responsibilities of the management, technical officers and gender specialists, and objectives and targets.

The evaluation examined the implementation of FAO Policy on Gender Equality from 2012 - 2017. It concluded that the policy remains relevant to FAO’s overall mandate and strategic goals. FAO has invested in mechanisms to institutionalize gender mainstreaming, produced a number of technical guidelines and awareness-raising material, forged partnerships to bring in gender dimension in project implementation, and made significant strides towards achieving gender-equality results. The policy needs to be updated however, to reflect external developments and be accompanied by an action plan for its operationalization. Knowledge products should be more contextualized for use in different sectors and countries. Leveraging its proximity to rural communities, FAO should position itself as a key partner in addressing gender issues in rural areas, and should build more strategic and long-term partnerships. Addressing identified gaps and ensuring effective gender mainstreaming require strong staff commitment, starting with senior managers and heads of field offices. Continued engagement of FAO Members and commitment of governments will be needed for FAO to effectively support gender equality commitments set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
