You are warmly invited to join the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)’s Commit to Grow Equality (CGE) for an event to mark the launch of its first progress report, featuring selected CGE partners and their commitments to date.  

The event will take place during the high-level week of the sixty-ninth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) and Beijing+30 review on Wednesday, 12 March 2025 at 8:00-9:45 EDT in New York.  

 The CGE initiative was launched in March 2024 in response to the call to action from FAO’s 2023 report on The status of women in agrifood systems. The CGE initiative seeks to enhance gender equality and women’s empowerment in agrifood systems through increased financing, investments and partnerships, bringing together a wide range of diverse stakeholders, including governments, philanthropy, the private sector, UN and other multilateral agencies, civil society organizations and others.
