Synopsis (short abstract) The objective of the assessment is to analyse the agricultural and rural sector of Liberia from a gender perspective in order to identify gender inequalities in access to critical productive resources, assets, services and opportunities. In particular, the assessment identifies needs and constraints of both women and men in FAO’s areas of competence as well as priorities and gaps. It also provides recommendations and guidance to promote gender- responsive and inclusive policy and programme design, financing, implementation and monitoring.

The Country Gender Assessment (CGA) of the Agriculture and Rural Sector of the Philippines was undertaken in 2017 to primarily inform the gender-sensitive country level planning and programming of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and contribute to the implementation of FAO’s Policy on Gender Equality at country level. The objective of the present CGA is to analyse the agricultural and rural sector of the Philippines from a gender perspective at the macro (policy), meso (institutional) and micro (community and household) level. The CGA aims to identify gender inequalities in access to critical productive resources, assets, services and opportunities. In particular, the assessment identifies priorities and gaps in selected areas of FAO mandate. At the same time, it highlights opportunities for promoting gender equality in agriculture and rural development as well as strengthening rural women’s social and economic empowerment. A number of the recommendations are targeted to transform the cultural and social norms that undervalue women and girls. These include initiatives that support women’s and men’s important role in family health, food security and nutrition (i.e. improved food preparation practices, nutrition education and access to safe drinking water). While taking care not to promote stereotypes, these initiatives can increase rural women’s and men’s access to resources, know-how, including use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), and income generation, especially projects that reduce labour and time burdens in unpaid care, domestic and community work. The Assessment also identifies stakeholders, partners and inter-institutional mechanisms that FAO Philippines can further explore to help bridge gender gaps and promote gender equality in the agriculture and the rural sector.

The Country Gender Assessment (CGA) was undertaken to analyse the agricultural and rural sector of Bhutan from a gender mainstreaming perspective in areas where the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) assists in realizing rural women’s rights and potential. The agricultural sector is the major source of income and employment with 49.2 percent of Bhutan’s population dependent on it. 57.8 percent of employed Bhutanese women are making them vital players in the food security and nutrition landscape. However, there still remain gender inequalities and constraints.
