Book (stand-alone)A toolkit for incorporating fish into the home-grown school feeding programme 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Food and nutrition security is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals enshrined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In an attempt to contribute to reaching this objective, school feeding programmes are serving meals to over 418 million pre-primary, primary and secondary schoolchildren around the world. The positive experience from a project supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Angola, Honduras and Peru that incorporated locally procured fish into home-grown school feeding (HGSF) programmes led to the elaboration of this toolkit. This toolkit is designed to support governments, project designers, managers and practitioners involved in the fishery value chain and school feeding, who want to incorporate locally procured, safe, nutritious and affordable fish and fish products into their existing HGSFs. Therefore, this toolkit is expected to assist them during the rapid assessment of the situation of the school feeding and fishery sector, and the identification of challenges and opportunities present while incorporating fish and fish products into HGSFs. To this end, this toolkit adopts three main approaches: the Sustainable Food Value Chain for Nutrition to enhance the consideration of nutrition lens in the value chain approach; the gender-transformative approach to support women fisherfolk in their activities and increase their participation in school feeding programmes; and local and inclusive food procurement to connect public demand for food to small-scale fisherfolk. Specifically, this toolkit proposes 4 phases and 15 flexible and adaptable tools to sustainably serve fish and fish products at schools. -
Book (stand-alone)Changing rural women's lives through gender transformative social protection
A paper on gender transformative social protection concepts, evidence and practice in the context of food security and nutrition
2023Also available in:
No results found.Most rural women and girls experience multiple disadvantages in their lives, because of systematic gender inequalities. Structural drivers, including discriminatory norms, create and maintain gender gaps in development outcomes. Gender transformative programmes seek to address the underlying structural causes of gender inequalities and transform unequal gender roles and relations. This paper aims to orient the future policy, research and programmatic work of national governments, practitioners and development partners on the adoption of a gender transformative approach (GTA) to social protection to improve results on rural poverty reduction, food security and nutrition. Social protection interventions rarely explicitly address social and gender norms and power dynamics at household level and beyond, but there is a growing demand to understand the potential of social protection policies and programmes to contribute to gender transformative outcomes. This paper critically examines the scope for social protection to be gender transformative and discusses the available evidence on gender transformative impacts of social protection. It also aims to identify how programmes can realistically become more transformative in their objectives, design features and outcomes. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetReaching gender equality, youth inclusion and parity in decision-making in the climate change dialogue 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Women and young people have proven the required skills to accelerate climate action. They are committed activists, agents of change, resilience builders, innovators and entrepreneurs. Yet, their voices are still often not heard and their specific challenges and priorities are not adequately addressed in planning and decision-making processes. The impacts of the climate crises are being felt most by women, youth, disabled, powerless and indigenous peoples and immigrants, who often live in the most vulnerable and risk exposed areas. Special efforts are needed to engage women and young people in planning and decision-making. Gender transformative approaches can help to understand, reflect on, challenge and change harmful gender norms and roles, unequal power dynamics and discriminatory social structures. These approaches can also contribute to ensuring that the technical knowledge and leadership skills of women and young people are further developed, so as to achieve long-standing and equitable impacts. This side event will present successful approaches and good practices that have contributed to the inclusion of women and young people in decision-making for climate action in agriculture; and will propose some recommendations on how to better integrate them into local and international negotiation tables. Furthermore, the event will provide an opportunity for participants to build alliances with strategic partners and stakeholders working towards gender-responsive climate actions.
