Persisting inequalities between women and men undermine global efforts to end hunger, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. Conventional gender-sensitive methodologies, which tend to focus on treating the symptoms of gender discrimination without addressing the structural determinants of gender inequality, have often fallen short in attaining long-standing and transformative impacts.
In the framework of the Joint Programme on Gender Transformative Approaches for Food Security and Nutrition (JP GTA), the three United Nations Rome-based Agencies - FAO, IFAD and WFP - are working together to tackle the root causes of gender inequality and trigger transformative change processes that lead to gender equality and women’s empowerment, with the aim of contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 2 on zero hunger.
The JP GTA is implemented by FAO, IFAD and WFP in collaboration with and through financial support from the European Union. It is inspired by and contributes to the implementation of the EU Gender Equality Strategy and its gender action plans, in particular the EU Gender Action Plan III.
