Country Gender Assessment of Agriculture and the Rural Sector in Vanuatu 2020

Also available in:

No results found.

The objective of the Assessment is to analyse the agriculture and rural sectors from a gender perspective at the macro level (policy), meso level (institutional) and micro level (community and household). The Assessment seeks to identify gender inequalities in access to critical productive resources, assets, services and opportunities. The assessment looks at the priorities, needs and constraints of both women and men in agricultural and rural communities, and the gaps that exist in responding to these issues. It also provides recommendations and guidance to promote gender sensitivity in future programmes and projects, and identifies possible partners for gender-related activities. This Assessment is also intended to raise awareness about gender issues among policy-makers, FAO officers, NGOs and community-based organizations in Vanuatu. It provides background and gender-related information, and can be used as a tool to mainstream gender perspectives in future policies, projects and programmes in ways that empower rural women.

GIEWS Update - The Republic of Vanuatu, 8 May 2020
Tropical Cyclone Harold caused widespread damage to the agriculture sector
2020

Also available in:

No results found.

The passing of Cyclone Harold on 6 April 2020 caused extensive damage to the agriculture sector, including losses of main staples and export crops. About half of the total population is estimated to be in need of assistance due to the impact of the cyclone. International food and agriculture assistance is urgently needed to avoid the deterioration of the local food security situation. COVID-19 prevention measures may hamper the timely delivery of humanitarian aid. Necessary measures need to be taken to avoid this. FAO is working with the Vanuatu authorities to restore agricultural production and rebuild livelihoods.
