Policy briefAgrifood trade and gender equality: exploring key linkages 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The note analyses key features of the interplay between trade and gender equality in agriculture exploring gender dynamics in agrifood value chains and their implications for developing countries, with a focus on the dimensions of employment, market participation and entrepreneurship. Globally, gender inequalities constrain women’s access to agrifood markets and have an impact on agricultural value chain development, trade performance and economic growth. Agrifood trade can lead to social and economic outcomes potentially conducive to gender equality and women’s empowerment. To this end, gender-responsive trade and agricultural policies can play a role in promoting a more inclusive trade environment, by removing gender barriers to domestic and international agrifood markets. -

Book (series)National gender profile of agriculture and rural livelihoods – The Philippines 2018
Also available in:
No results found.The Country Gender Assessment (CGA) of the Agriculture and Rural Sector of the Philippines was undertaken in 2017 to primarily inform the gender-sensitive country level planning and programming of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and contribute to the implementation of FAO’s Policy on Gender Equality at country level. The objective of the present CGA is to analyse the agricultural and rural sector of the Philippines from a gender perspective at the macro (policy), meso (institutional) and micro (community and household) level. The CGA aims to identify gender inequalities in access to critical productive resources, assets, services and opportunities. In particular, the assessment identifies priorities and gaps in selected areas of FAO mandate. At the same time, it highlights opportunities for promoting gender equality in agriculture and rural development as well as strengthening rural women’s social and economic empowerment. A number of the recommendations are targeted to transform the cultural and social norms that undervalue women and girls. These include initiatives that support women’s and men’s important role in family health, food security and nutrition (i.e. improved food preparation practices, nutrition education and access to safe drinking water). While taking care not to promote stereotypes, these initiatives can increase rural women’s and men’s access to resources, know-how, including use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), and income generation, especially projects that reduce labour and time burdens in unpaid care, domestic and community work. The Assessment also identifies stakeholders, partners and inter-institutional mechanisms that FAO Philippines can further explore to help bridge gender gaps and promote gender equality in the agriculture and the rural sector.
