Synopsis (short abstract) In general, this strategy will contribute to the achievement of changes that will contribute to the realisation of equality and equity between women and men, in accordance with the objectives of the national gender equality policies and strategies. The strategy aligns with continental and global codes, agreements and conventions and the countries of the Canary Current Marine system project adhered to continental and global agreements, conventions and United Nations Conferences. They have ratified several treaties and conventions (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women [CEDAW, 1985]), the Optional Protocol to CEDAW (in 2000), the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (ACHPR) (in 2004) and to the Sustainable Development Goals.The vision and objectives of this gender strategy can only be achieved if there is a clear political and institutional commitment that is both practical and ambitious. This is expressed in the setting of institutional arrangements, implementing principles such as collection of sex disaggregated data, undertake gender analysis and integrate gender actions in each theme, set clear priorities and explicit choice in favour of using and supporting local and international gender expertise and mainstreaming gender in policy dialogue with participating countries and with key institutions and stakeholders.

    Promoting gender equality across the policy and programme framework of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is crucial for the Organization to realize its mandate to eradicate poverty and eliminate hunger and malnutrition. Across the Asia-Pacific region, women are well recognized as important contributors to food production and all other aspects of food systems. However, their lives and livelihoods are being affected in unprecedented ways by persistent social and gender inequalities, climate change and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The Regional Gender Strategy and Action Plan 2022–2025 for Asia and the Pacific translates FAO’s corporate Policy on Gender Equality 2020-2030 and gender action plan into an actionable agenda and presents the strategic and programme framework for FAO’s gender-related work in the region. The main objectives of the Regional Gender Strategy and Action Plan are to: i) identify and respond to regional trends and challenges that affect women’s equal and meaningful participation in the sectors of agriculture, forestry, livestock and fisheries; ii) mainstream gender perspectives in the regional priorities; iii) establish regional focus areas that will enable gender equality and women’s empowerment across agriculture, forestry, livestock, aquaculture and fisheries sectors; and iv) respond to new and emerging challenges and needs to build back gender-sensitive and -resilient lives and livelihoods. The strategy and action plan includes the two-year action plan for the region and the action and outreach plan which shows how FAO intends to reach out to different stakeholders and partners through various activities.
