The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) are calling upon countries to take comprehensive and transformative actions to integrate gender considerations into climate change, biodiversity, and environmental policies and programmes.
The main strategy behind the subprogramme is to catalyze reductions in FLW through engendering change and improvements in the agrifood systems at global, regional, and national and sub-national level in beneficiary countries.
The Data Lab is collaborating with the loss and damage team in the Statistics Division (ESS) to complement the global level assessment of disaster impacts (as presented in the new FAO flagship report on The Impact of Disasters on Agriculture and Food Security) by validating outputs through country level analysis of agricultural losses. The Data Lab would use FVC funds to support three major endeavours.
The subprogramme will also address the economic and sustainability issues facing the tea sector. There is a need for a transformational change in the tea sector. This can be achieved by boosting the small tea growers’ participation in the global tea value chain, and by empowering women and youth for improved food security and nutrition.
The project will develop and pilot an innovative approach to help countries to transform their rural areas and the agricultural sector effectively, thereby reducing food insecurity and poverty while promoting economic growth and environmental preservation.
This subprogramme will measure the impacts of FVC funding on beneficiaries’ welfare across a diversity of FVC sub-programmes. This approach entails collecting and analyzing comparable evidence on a diversity of projects within the FVC funding portfolio using rigorous impact evaluation methods.

The proposed FAO project aims to challenge gender discriminatory norms, enhance gender equality, and foster inclusive and sustainable agrifood systems in Barbados, Kenya and Uganda.
The escalating impacts of climate change, including water scarcity, pose a critical threat to global agricultural sustainability. As part of the initiatives aimed at addressing this challenge, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed the Value Adding Impact Area (VAIA) “Addressing Water Scarcity in Agriculture and the Environment” (AWSAMe).
The subprogramme is closely aligned with FAO’s strategic framework (2022-31), contributing to the aspirational Outcome of the Programme Priority Area (PPA BE2) on bioeconomy for sustainable food and agriculture.

This subprogramme was designed to bring about the sustainable and inclusive transformation of agrifood systems with benefits for the poor and marginalized value chain actors, through systemic, coherent and aligned policies, strategies, and programmes, involving all agrifood systems stakeholders across the rural-urban continuum.
