Synopsis (short abstract) This assessment is the result of a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and CARE commissioned with the intent of exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender equality and food security in Yemen using CARE's Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA) Toolkit. The collaboration builds on an innovative partnership established in 2020 between FAO, the World Food Programme (WFP) and CARE to understand the gender-differentiated impacts of COVID-19 on livelihood and food security in the Arab region, with a focus on cases in Iraq and the Sudan. With the passage of time, and due to the particularly complex situation brought on by the numerous crises affecting Yemen (armed conflict, natural disasters and an economic crisis), the study provided the opportunity to reflect on how overlapping and multiple crises generate gender-differentiated impacts on livelihood opportunities, employment, food security and protection risks. While the study methodology originally focused on the impact of COVID-19, the analysis of primary and secondary data provided an opportunity to investigate the connection between different vulnerability multipliers, particularly the ongoing conflict.

    A Regional Rapid Gender Analysis (RGA) is conducted with a special focus on Iraq and the Sudan as case studies to provide information about the different needs, capacities and coping strategies of women, men, boys and girls in a crisis. Rapid Gender Analysis is built up progressively: using a range of primary and secondary information to understand gender roles and relations and how they may change during a crisis. It provides practical programming and operational recommendations to meet the different needs of women, men, boys and girls and to ensure we ‘do no harm’.  Rapid gender analysis uses the tools and approaches of gender analysis fameworks and adapts them to the shorter time-frames, rapidly changing contexts, and insecure environments that often characterise humanitarian interventions, to ensure that data is available to inform humanitarian response efforts and contributing to recovery and preparedness efforts.

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, through the Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) System, implemented a survey to assess the functionality of markets, the supply and accessibility of food items and livestock inputs, and to identify challenges experienced by livestock keepers and traders in the Sudan. This DIEM-Monitoring assessment, conducted from 25 March to 14 April 2024, covered one or two major markets in each Sudanese state that were functional at the time of data collection.The fifth round of DIEM-Monitoring in the Sudan adopted a qualitative approach through face-to-face surveys. Three separate questionnaires were administered targeting food traders, agricultural input traders and livestock extension officers. The survey covered 14 states: Blue Nile, East Darfur, Gedaref, Kassala, North Darfur, North Kordofan, Northern, Red Sea, River Nile, Sennar, South Darfur, South Kordofan, West Kordofan, and White Nile. The survey was not able to target respondents in Aj Jazirah, Central Darfur, Khartoum and West Darfur due to active conflict. Overall, 298 (273 male and 25 female) food traders, 302 (235 male and 67 female) livestock input traders and 255 (144 male and 111 female) livestock extension officers were reached.

    The Kosovo gender profile for agriculture and rural livelihoods aims to improve knowledge on gender‑related issues in agriculture. It proposes evidence‑based recommendations for advancing gender equality and women’s economic empowerment in agriculture and rural development, including ensuring women's access to digital tools. The recommendations seek to inform several strategies and programmes as per the authorities’ commitments to ensuring that these are informed by gender analysis. This gender assessment begins with an overview of gender equality in Kosovo, examining the agriculture sector, legal framework, demographics, migration, politics, education, food security, nutrition, vulnerabilities to climate change, health, gender‑based violence and intersectional inequalities affecting vulnerable groups. It identifies ways to enhance inclusive agricultural development and the sustainable development of rural communities, considering gender roles and differences among diverse women and men in access to productive resources, inputs, information and participation. It proposes evidence‑based recommendations for gender‑responsive strategies towards women’s empowerment in the agriculture sector, rural development, and sustainable and transformative agrifood systems, and inclusive digital strategies.
