Policy briefStrengthening gender-responsive climate policies and actions in climate-smart agriculture 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Championing women as critical agents of change within their communities and in policy and decision-making processes at national and international levels is a fundamental step towards ensuring gender equality and climate-related issues are adequately addressed in agricultural policies and dialogue and considered by international climate finance mechanisms, government ministries and research institutions. Gender-responsive climate-smart agriculture refers to approaches that consider women’s and men’s specific priorities and their different access to resources, services, education and information to build climate resilience, through a focus on equality and agency. This brief showcases promising research and innovation, particularly from countries engaged through the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Flexible Multi-Partner Mechanism (FMM) 149 project. Senegal, Uganda and Belize are highlighted as examples to inform policymakers, guide gender-responsive investments, policies, and strategies in countries’ work in response to climate change. This brief is part of a series. Other briefs on agrifood value chains, aquaculture and fisheries and the livestock sector are available. -
Policy briefStrengthening gender-responsive climate policies and actions in agrifood value chains 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change can increase gender inequalities: while men can diversify into other commodities or migrate to other regions in search of economic opportunities in response to climate impacts, women often have more limited options, and therefore less resilience, due to their domestic responsibilities and poor access to resources and services. Failure to recognize the multiple roles performed by women along the agrifood value chain, and to address their specific needs and priorities often reduces their economic and social opportunities. This brief showcases promising research and innovation, particularly from countries engaged through the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Flexible Multi-Partner Mechanism (FMM) 149 project. Senegal, Samoa and Zambia are highlighted as examples to inform policymakers, guide gender-responsive investments, policies, and strategies in countries’ work in response to climate change. This brief is part of a series. Other briefs on climate-smart agriculture, agrifood value chains and the livestock sector are available. -
Book (stand-alone)Practical guide on how to eliminate gender-based violence and protect rural communities through food security and agriculture interventions
Guidance for FAO staff and partners
2022Also available in:
No results found.Gender-based violence is a pervasive, persistent and global reality. Increasingly, it affects the environments where the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) operates, with impacts on agricultural and rural development, food security and nutrition, and rural poverty. Humanitarian emergencies, hunger, malnutrition and poverty tend to increase the prevalence of gender-based violence, which, in turn, undermines households, communities, and national food security and nutrition by impacting people’s livelihoods, health, skills and knowledge. This significantly reduces the resilience of survivors and weakens their capacity to be productive workers, earners and carers for the next generation, setting off a terrible circle of violence. With the new emerging global challenges and cries, including the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts and climate change – poverty, food insecurity and gender-based violence are exacerbating. This called for a new updated guidance that addresses the new and intertwined challenges the world is now facing. This guidance is meant to support country offices, FAO staff and strategic partners in the fight against any form of gender-based violence, facilitate the integration of protection issues in an FAO project cycle, and support the collection and analysis of data disaggregated by sex and other social variables for generating the evidence for policy-making and planning of gender-responsive and gender-transformative interventions. The guide provides the needed tools and promising approaches and experiences of the last decade used successfully to address GBV and eliminate protection risks in the field. It is a continuing project that will evolve as FAO accumulates experiences and lessons learned in an ever-changing working environment.
